Sorry to say I haven't gotten very far on my quest at all. Between
work, chores and the fact there really isn't anywhere in my area to try
this stuff out. Still

I recently read a test of the Duet, there it was said that the digital
output from a good cd player sounded better than the digital out from
Duet! What gives?
Analog out from SB3 gives me a bit 2 dimentional sound, no deep tuneful
bass, and kind of boring sound. Instant switch to digital out into

Just want to say Bryston has a new separate D/A converter out. The BDA-1
is one sleek unit.

We all have subconscious prejudice about certain brands, do

Hi Howard,
I would be very interested in what you finally decide on. Comparing my
SB3 analog out with my Apollo CD player, the SB3 seems a little less
3-dimensional. I love the convenience of the SB3, but I don't want to
give up any sound quality. I'm a little hesitant in buying a DAC

Actually there's an old studio trick. Sometime when you've sat listening
to a mix next to the nearfields for hours you get a bit...jaded - and
you kind of lose the plot in terms of eq, balance etc etc. However,

It would be easy to dismiss your story as hyperbole but I believe you.
Sources shouldn't sound that different but sometimes they do have a

That's exactly where my wife says the volume is about right. One floor
away, with the kids in the tub and the water running... :-)

I have the duet receiver and found the sound to be acceptable using the
built in DAC but nowhere near as good as that of my 8 year old
cambridge audio cd player.
After much debate between getting either the benchmark, ps audio or for
something completely different, the cambridge audio 840c cd pla

Magnifying glass - that's so analog. Try zooming in in the digital
domain ('+' and '-' buttons on you controller), that might help.

Try the MF X
I doubt you going to get any major improvements on the digital side
unless you use something like a digital parametric equaliser to tweak
sonics or something like a meridian 518 or some other form of

from the DUET receiver? Actually, a two fold question. If using a
outboard DAC, can I get a little more detail from the digital outputs
on the DUET and does anyone have a reccomendation for a DAC that has
warmer characteristics? I really, really love my old Revox B226
