RE: Your system

Cheers!

I'm saving money to upgrade my digital source. I'm still in doubt ... thinking of having my SA8001 modified (entire substitution of analgue output) or getting an external DAC like MF M1 DAC. Unfortunately, after purchasing my Luxman L-505u I won't have enough money to purchase a real high-end source for a long time.

RE: Your system

My systems sound musical but ... after my last upgrade (new amp), a demoniac voice never stops asking for new digital source. Laughing

In fact, the system is unbalaced. Marantz SA8001 is the weakest component and lets my system down ...

If I could afford right now, I'd purchase a D/A converter like Luxman DA-200. Maybe in a distant furture ... Frown
