Im considering purchasing an Audiolab M-Dac, by all accounts a fantastic piece of kit, with upgrade routes.
Currently im running an audio pc for digital and a philips cd723 as a cd transport over SPDIF to a modded Dacmagic 1 (replaced all signal path caps and psu caps with high quality audio caps, replaced connectors, installed gold plated 8 pin sockets for op amp swapping) to an Audiolab 8000s to a set of refurbed 104/2's.
Anyone taken a similar upgrade route, ie from a Cambridge audio Dacmagic to an M-Dac and if so what were the results? Worth the cash?
I was also considering swapping my old reliable cd723 for a marantz cd6005, but as im only using the transport of the 723, im not sure if id be wasting my cash.
Any relevant experience would be good to hear about.
Many thanks
