I dont have Vinyl or turntable ......and no intention to add one either ......when asked about A48 + C2450, the dealer says A48+C2150 should equally serve the purpose as I dont have turntable and predominantly it is "streaming". + CD Player.
Then this thread - everyone screaming how great the C2850 is..... Guys - could someone kindly say I am safe with A48+C2450 or save the money and GO for A48+C2150 ? use the money later - either to buy the DC37 DAC or upgrade to C2850 in the future ?? Remember no turntable.... Last edited by Pancho; 10-04-2019 at 10:31 AM. Reason: model number correction of DAC |

I'm in the same situation: no turntable and no intention to add one.
Wondering if A-48 + C-2450 makes sense over C-2150? C-2850 is a bit of a stretch, but does it make sense with A-48? |

But like you said the C2850 indeed is well outsid ethe budget.......what would be the sensible decision.... probably settle down with C2150 and when your wallet get spare funds - maybe upgrade! Do you stream mate ? |

If you can swing it, go for the 2850. All of them are solid, but the 2850 is a big jump up in SQ.

There are hundreds of dacs available, but as I said this this thread or another, I would not buy a new DC37 at this time just because it has to be nearing the end of its life cycle (particularly in the digital world). Not sure if the 2850 has a slot for a dac card - I got one installed on my e650, but haven’t tried it out yet. My personal experience though with the 900 series digital stuff from accuphase was not great. I sold it, at a great loss, and went back to psaudio and was much happier (and, to my ear, got better sound quality). So, your call and wallet entirely, but if I were you, I’d either go with a card in the 2850 if that’s available (and you like the sound), a third party dac (maybe you get something cheap until the successor to the dc 37 comes out), or buy the dc 37 ‘cause that’s the one you want. No magic bullets and everything costs money. |

Hello Pancho,
I am also inclined to settle with C-2150, maybe trade up to C-2850 one day. I do stream and have my CDs ripped on a media server. Cheers |

dCS Bartòk streaming DAC with or without built-in headphone amp. - is continually software updated (no need to buy a new box if new digital or streaming formats turn up) - can directly drive a power amp (no need for a preamp) - streaming can be controlled via dCS proprietary app (Mosaic) or other (e.g. Roon) - currently supports MQA Martin Last edited by meltemi; 10-05-2019 at 04:04 AM. |
