I have a Arcam FMJ-CD23T and I have always loved the sound of Arcam (I also have a Arcam amp and cinema processor). In case you don't know the CD23T, it was sold upwards of $2000 a few years ago and it has the famous DCS RingDAC inside.
A few months ago I bought a MHDT Paradisea DAC. Those are made by a guy in Asia on his spare time and he sells them on ebay. A recent magazine review made me discover this little DAC: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0406/mhdt_laboratory_dac.htm I also bought a modded RedWineAudio SqueezeBox2. I've never heard the stock SB. Well the combination of the RWA SB2 feeding digital into my Paradisea DAC is for sure very nice. The sound signature is a bit different from my Arcam but not much. On some albums I still prefer my CDP by a tiny margin but on many I can't really say which one I prefer while on some I find the SB2/Paradisea combo nicer. Hope this helps. -- Loftprojection ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Loftprojection's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5525 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25690 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
