If the sound your getting is an improvement over what you have been used to, then keep the EAD in the loop. LET YOUR EARS BE THE JUDGE...

I've used EAD in the past and was always impressed with it's musicality,good stuff...

yeah I know but I have old ears :-)

I have put my EAD 7000 III against a bunch of DACs including, Chord, Audio Note 1, Krell, DCS, Accuphase, etc. and with my Forsell transport the EAD beat all others...still looking for a contender (passively looking that is)...

If you want to upgrade look elsewhere in your chain, leave the EAD in, dump the Music Hall! I had a Music Hall CD25 mk1 with mods in PS, its a nice player, sold it long ago in search for a better transport, since I had a Squeezebox modded and unmodded, CEC TL1, and Forsell, the EAD stayed.

Hey Texron,

I've been using EAD DACs for a few years, first with their DSP-1000 and now with their DSP-7000 unit. They are really good stuff, just hard to find.

I haven't heard your music hall, but I can tell you that the DSP-7000 is still an excellent performer. I'd be surprised if the music hall was its equal. The best way to find out is to do an A/B between them--let your ears be the judge.

Good luck--and let us know how it turns out if you give it a go!

Thanks, I've been A/B all day with all types of music, the EAD is better. I'm using the optical out but from The player to the DAC, I should be using a dig. cable, right?
