Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Audio Experience with Music Hall - C-DAC15.3 DAC/CD Player by Michael Rosario

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for transitioning from CDs to the latest digital sources

My old Rotel CD changer almost died (doesn't recognize many of my CDs) and I've been looking for one Substitute. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I was moving away from the CD format. It was the perfect choice. I considered a separate DAC and transport, but my wallet was too light. I read an interview with Jim Hall about this device and he said that they developed it precisely because while people still wanted to play CDs from their collection, they realized that most people now listen to other digital sources. This device does both. This is the perfect upgrade for my mix of entry-level and near-audiophile components. In particular, the DAC in this unit made my humble Grace Digital IRDT-200 internet radio tuner sound like a much more expensive network streaming device. The CD sound is comparable to my old Rotel, which is very good. Ideal for those who are still in the process of making the switch from CD to other digital sources such as network streaming and are on a budget.
