grawk Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 If you can get spdif from your dvd-a or sacd player, there's nothing to stop you capturing the signal with the appropriate hardware and software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padam Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've been offered a CA 840C locally for ~750 USD, now that seems a killer price in my book (especially that we have taxes here in the EU as well), now could anybody tell me what can I expect compared to the D/AC 1600HD (which I really like)? Is it better or worse? I know once it was highly regarded (at least as a CD player, not as a standalon DAC), is it still good? Thanks!!

Never heard it myself, but have seen many good things written about it compared to other options in the price range. At the very least, I'm pretty sure you could on-sell it without making a loss...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I need to sell the Parasound to my friend to get it, if it is a downgrade compared to that then I will not do it cause it is unlikely that I'll find an 1600HD again that I would buy that is why I asked. Maybe later on if it is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I need to sell the Parasound to my friend to get it Ah, much tougher decision then I suspect few here would recommend selling a good rare DAC for a newer 'commodity' item.
