Gary444 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks David for the greeting. You guys are pretty great! Have read / learnt so much here. I've only just joined and already got one of the components I was looking for. The Arcam irDac - got it through here a few hours ago! It is brilliant! Now onto the Cambridge CXC transport! cheers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVit Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Sounds like your on the same path as me, I've had the irdac for a while now it's a very nice unit just waiting for a transport to come alongSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary444 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hey Lee, Yep, I sure am. And very impressed with the irDac too - have been using it all evening! Have paired it with my TASCAM CD-RW900sl CD recorder till the dedicated CXC transport comes along. I like a really warm analogue sound for vocalists, Jazz and soundtracks and the irDac certainly delivers this. Are you after the Cambridge CXC also? I'm hoping one will come up on here but prepared to get one new if I have to. Have a good one! Cheers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVit Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi Gary,I have been looking at the cxc transport but I'm undecided. I have been using an iPad and a pc with the irdac and been getting great results, there is a definite analogue quality which probably helps with the pc audio. I have read that the dac responds well to good quality cables I'm still on cheap quality at the moment but may be worth a listen.Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary444 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Yep Lee I see why you are undecided if much of your material is audio file. It's difficult to make absolute decisions when there is so much choice out there, all competing for user preference, but in contrast to your dilemma I have 2000+ CD's, many of which are rare and I won't be passing up soon (also I love the tactility of the CD and LP's for that matter, which is an important part of the experience for me), so the transport is a no brainer. I am about to look into some better cabling too so thanks for the tip. Best of luck with your decision! cheers G.
