Hi,
I inherited a separates system from relatives when they upgraded which comprises a Sony CDP-710 - Musical Fidelity Digilog - Quad preamp and 405 amp - Musical Fidelity MC-2 speakers.
However the Digilog DAC has stopped working. When I inherited it the digital coaxial cable was jammed into the CD input but that stopped and for a short while I was able to use it on a different input but that gave up too.
I've tested the cable but it's fine. There is an optical option but I don't want to spend a lot on another cable when it's likrly that the unit itself is broken.
The loss to the whole system is enormous: the soundstage and depth of the sound using the CDPs internal DAC is so far inferior as to remove most of the enjoyment of listening.
Does anyone know if it's worth getting it fixed? Have you had the same problem (probably several years ago before you upgraded!)?
Or should I consider replacements.
In which case suggestions and experiences with alternative DACs would be very welcome.
Or, indeed, do most CDPs now come with such good internal DACs that I should just upgrade that instead?
Thanks - Theodogdinho
