| SQ vs. Music My first thought was to dismiss the premise behind the question, but on reflection it is a valid query. I listen primarily to Classical. There are many classic pre stereo performances in my collection and I do listen to them. Restoration techni... | |

| I saved alot of money. I am confused. In your original post you stated that the CD player and the BT were connected to the Hegel DAC, and you were comparing the sound from those 2 inputs. In your last post, you seem to indicate that you have connected the BT device di... | |
| I saved alot of money. I didn’t know that BT devices could be run through a conventional DAC. I thought that they had their own internal DACs. What kind of music does the OP listen to? | |

| NAD T778 AVR That would be my take as well. Look for a multi channel amp to drive as many speakers as possible, and use a budget pre AVR as a pre amp (and possibly to drive rear or ceiling speakers). Then upgrade as funds allow | |
| Is it worthwhile to upgrade an old but quality DAC? Agree. Moses, come to the promised land of modern DACs | |
| Help with upgrade from Marantz 6011 I’d go Anthem, because the room correction will make a major difference. Any AVR without RC will be a lateral move at best. And separates might be a noticeable improvement, but not the same degree as RC | |
| Cambridge CXU Blu-ray Player Kal Rubinson reviewed some multichannel DACs in Stereophile at bit back, the Bryston is two channel only. |
