Greetings to all
Yesterday I did some experiments with two CD players connected to the DAC Topping D30.
- Marantz CD53 special edition connected with Amazon basics coaxial cable to dac
- Panasonic BDT220EG blu ray player connected with Amazon basics optical cable to dac.
Amp with Hypex modules and JMLab Profil 1990s speakers.
I only listened to classical music of various types.
I noticed big differences in sound.
With the Marantz there is a clear prevalence of medium-high notes. Almost glassy at certain times. The bass was not very present.
With the Panasonic it all seemed more natural. Also the brass were always behind the speakers and never ahead.
How is it possible for a transport to make so much difference?
Or does it depend on the connection? Better the optical one?
