    McIntosh C47, turned it on AND all hell broke loose!

    http://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=42668 The part about loosening the screws on the back and retightening them as indicated in post 4. I had the issue as well and it hasn't happened since.

    New C47, Love it so far, but some issues...help tweaking?

    You don't upsample to make up missing information in low res, sheesh. You upsample because your software subjectively has a better sounding oversampling filter and you want to use it and bypass the oversampling filtering in the DAC.

    Is Tidal in trouble?

    I pay extra for Qobuz mostly to not support MQA in any way but ended up gettiing the bonus of a better Jazz catalog. Win win!

    New DAC vs using current CD Player

    I have not expertise in that price range nor have I heard your existing unit. Sorry. The cheapest DAC on my recommended list is the Ayre Codex, but I don't think you can get it used for your budget unfortunately. Maybe $1000.

    New DAC vs using current CD Player

    I'd take your word for it if I could find 1 review or one more person other than yourself that thought it was awesome. I now see it's something made in your home country and probably easily accessible to you. Good on you for promoting it.

    What's wrong with me - new digital vs vintage analog

    I can see it happening. With the labels audibly watermarking digital downloads and streaming content along with pushing MQA, CDs will become the holy grail.

    New DAC vs using current CD Player

    @Galaxie500xl what is your budget? If you can push it up there, I'd try the new Schiit Yggdrasil with it's new Analog 2 board. $2399.00. Qobuz is coming to the US sometime in the middle of this year if you want hi-res streaming. Not other services offer true high res at this point.

    New DAC vs using current CD Player

    Trying DACs with the Creek as a transport is the right move IMO.

    What's wrong with me - new digital vs vintage analog

    Do you have something other than the SHM-SACD? http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UIGY-9513 Sorry to the OP for going off topic on this one.

    What's wrong with me - new digital vs vintage analog

    FWIW: The DVD-A is 2002 I believe. The SHM-SACDs are sourced from the Orb remasters from 2011, so I don't think they are the same master.

    MC1.25KW - no ordinary amps, thank you McIntosh!

    I think there is room between the C52 and the C1100 for a single box true dual mono solid state analog preamp.
