So you heard it...do you think it sounds like "usual" for an Arcam compared to say a CD 17 or cd 37 ? or due to the change in DACs (and others) it sounds warmer / brighter ... less/more forward / more detailed ?
I haven't heard a 17 or 37 before....coming from a 92 it sounded much more upfront than my existing player, and picking out detail from tracks I really know that I haven't heard before. It really seemed like a fantastic player and great value for money.So you heard it...do you think it sounds like "usual" for an Arcam compared to say a CD 17 or cd 37 ? or due to the change in DACs (and others) it sounds warmer / brighter ... less/more forward / more detailed ?
At least the cds27 has xlr :-D maybe i will give it a try...
But the "Kind" of sound is similar the CD37 or CD192 ? but maybe not as good in your opinion ? or Brighter, Warmer more/less detailed ?
Do you know if the player had been "Burn In" ? Maybe it needs to...
Which one did you get meanwhile? I am also planning to replace the Oppo 105...Anyone have any reviews on this player? I looking at the Arcam CDS-27, Marantz SA11S3 and possibly the Esoteric K-05...to replace an Oppo 105.
