Just bought myself another Sony 'ES' machine in which i'm over the moon with. I love the higher quality sony plyers they sound good..I was listerning to it all last night with & without Maverick Audio 24/96 DAC! I can absolutly live with this player & will do, no edginess, no muddling but i do detect that the bass lines are not ultra clear.
Now it's nothing to do with any other part of the system, cabling etc as i monitored through the machine & the DAC headphone output with various sets of can's.
Would re-clocking the Machine with dedicated clock PSU help do you think? & who's the better the Trichord or the Audiocom variants or any others i don't know about? I recon this would sort the issue out.
Sorry didnt mean to say who's the better but would like input
