Couldn't really find anything on this so here goes. Went to RS on Thursday to demo the Azur 651a, k2 and pm6004 and took my brio r along for the ride. To cut a long story short the brio trounced the 651 and 6004 and I preferred it to the k2's overly eager top end. I wanted to like the 651 due...

Hi Mate, I can't offer any advice unfortunately but seeing as no one has replied i thought i'd chip in. General HI-FI queries usually get ignored, you should have asked 'do you prefer to pick your nose or scratch your arse when listening to music?' or 'are cd players a dieing breed?' or...

Nice one, you won't be disappointed. I expected the rdac to thrash it but it does'nt. What I'm wondering is, will there be much in it between laptop / rdac and iPod / i20?, as I'm quite tempted by an iPod touch which would mean spotify, radio and my library on one device and I could boot the rdac.

My i20 is an apple supported device, my rdac isn't. But if i wish i can send a digital signal from the i20 and let the rdac do the converting but I can't tell any difference so as I said I only use the rdac for Tv and laptop duties. So I use iPad to i20 to brio r and ipad gets charged while it's...

I bought a pure i20 from said shop for £65, which I planned to use coax out to my Rdac but I have to say I'm so impressed with the i20 that I honestly can't tell a difference between it and the rdac. The Rdac only gets switched on to play my library from laptop now, iPad and i20 for spotify or...

It's sound equals that of a good cdp but offers much more flexibility. Why would more £ on a cd player be better? My bdp to rdac equals a good cdp. If you really a sonic boost then upgrade speakers or your amp, cdp or Dacs offer subtle changes and I've had many.

I agree. Don't expect it to beat an half decent cdp but it excels in other areas.

Got one myself, here's my opinion, Compared to a CA 650c, I preferred the sound of the cdp alone than cdp through Dac. (personal tastes maybe?) Blu ray to rdac Optical in or hdmi pcm back to amp via analogue. I can tell the Dac is marginally better but not as much as you would expect. A...

As mentioned Cm1 need loads of space around them. I heard them in Sevenoaks against some 685 and rx1. The b&w's were miles behind the MA which although closer lost out to the cm1. Amp used was arcam a19. Anyway I bought the cm1, got them home and it went badly wrong as I didn't have as much...

I too have realised there's very little in different Dacs and cd players. The biggest area for improvement is in amps and speakers by far. My rdac only just edges my Denon 1611 blu ray (even on CDs), not sure that's really worth £200. My mate plugged his phone into his amp via headphone out to...

Anyone heard this against the brio r / Dac combo? Would be interesting to see how they compare considering it works out £400 cheaper :?

I've got a brio r, rdac and rs1. I really wasn't taking to the rs1 as I found the LF boomy and boxy until I read somewhere to replace my qed silver xt cables with rega single quatro. Now they sound superb, especially for they're size and £220 2nd hand in mint condition :) Do miss my MA RS6...

Soon we'll have to go out actually buy them from a shop, can you imagine? I use acetrax as its on wdtv live for the latest films, it's no blu ray but its ok when it works. Shame about BB really, I only cancelled as I had ran out of things to watch but planned to go back when some decent films...

Just had a look at them and nearly fell off my chair. Cheapest is £90, all because apple want to be arses and not put a USB. :wall:

Hi, Have you got the camera connection kit? If so you can use USB to connect to an external Dac. Only trouble is the iPad refuses to work with certain Dacs from what I can gather, my rdac being one of them |( I hate apple so much, if it hadn't cost me £250 I'd love to launch it at some wall to...
