Cary DAC 100 questions for the experts...
 

Just got this DAC in the system and I am blown away with the detail and clarity compared to my Conrad Johnson DA-3.

Some observations.

HUGE disparity in recordings now.

Sounds almost BRIGHT compared to the CJ because of the amount of detail.

Wife suggested maybe I should have bought the tube version.

Also, the 48k light came on when I played Peter Gabriel from the Wadia.

Any opinions about this DAC and the 100t?

Looks great. I want to listen to one one of these days.

I bought it from the factory. It was a trade in. It sounds like it wasn't all the way broken in. The last few days it's starting to sing.

It's so good that I stopped listening to records. Has the attributes of vinyl but with a black background.

Of course now some recordings sound pretty bad because you can hear WAY back into the recording. I just heard a flaw in a Frank Sinatra song.

Funny how good live recording really. The jump of the music survives more often.

I really enjoy mine.Great sound

I stunned by how good it is. I makes all the problems with records more pronounced!!!

hey Guys...got a question.

Buddy of mine letting me use the Cary Audio DAC-100 until I get something down the road. :)

But having some issues.

I connected to my 2015 MacBook Pro Retina using USB. Followed the manual to a T. I thought! :)

No sound. checked the MacBook Sound in System Preferences and clicked the Cary Audio. No sound.

Running RCA analogue to the McIntosh C1100.

Going to hook up a CD player after work with a dig coax just to make sure its working there too.

I had intended it to use strictly from my MacBook or external music drive.
