I believe it makes a difference. I am putting one in mine.

1168

I donā€™t care.

1169

Then why did you @ me?

1170

It will come to you eventually.

1171

Iā€™m holding my breath

Come on guys! Cool it. Weā€™re all friends here.

Sorry if this is redundant, but Iā€™m still unsure of the DAC in the Eversolo. I am thinking of replacing my SGCD with the Eversolo as the new DAC as well as streamer, using the SGCD as a pre only. Does this sound like a good upgrade?

Current system:
SGCD, Parasound A21+, Blusound Node2, Wharfedale EVO 4.2ā€™s, twin SVS SB2000 subs. CD transport: Audiolab 6000CDT

Very good revew

if i was gonna do it, Iā€™d do two thingsā€¦

Get the Eversolo Master Edition ($1200 or so vs $850)

Get the Teddy Pardo LPS upgrade ($500)

Iā€™m no expert, but thatā€™s what Iā€™d do if I was gonna use the ESā€™s DAC.

Order it from Amazon and try it out for yourself and make your own judgement. If it doesnā€™t work out send it back.

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing. Also, place it on some kind of vibration isolating feet and upgrade the power cord. Everything Iā€™ve done so far has increased its performance. I have high hopes for the Teddy Pardo power supply. Increasingly looking like the option to go with over the LPS.

I had the SGCD for awhile then jumped up to a Holo Audio Spring 3 DAC using the SGCD as the pre, and the jump in sound quality was amazing. Lately Iā€™ve done a couple of comparisons between Spring 3 and the Eversolo internal DAC playing music from the internal drive I installed and streaming. Although the Spring 3 DAC is still better, the Eversolo DAC is very close.

Regular version or Master Edition?

1180

I roll with the regular version.

I guess what I am asking is do peeps feel that the DAC in the Eversolo is an improvement to the DAC in my SGCD?

1182

I really wish I could help you but Iā€™ve never heard the SGCD. Iā€™m listening to my Master Edition via CD (Joe Black & John Abercrombie - Coincidence) and itā€™s sounding mighty fine using SPDIF in. I must say though Iā€™ve never used it as a preamp. I would hesitate to use its digital volume control. That would be a no go for me.

1183

If you wanted to be 100% sure, I would say if you went Master Edition plus the Teddy Pardo LPS, that would seal it.

1184

Yes. Even without an LPS.

Al, itā€™s been 10 days since you posted your thoughts on the Teddy Pardo power supply. It really struck a cord with me as it seemed to address the improvements Iā€™m hoping for. Do you have any additional thoughts. My plan has been to make the jump next July as my manufacturer warranty will expire then. However, I am also considering an interconnect upgrade and a used pair became available. I have a choice to be made. Iā€™m leaning towards staying with my original plan and go with the power supply upgrade. Canā€™t sneak both past my wifeā€™s watchful eyes.

The installation of the Teddy Pardo was a snap. It provides a great deal more power than the original supply.

I like not having a power supply inside the A6. It cannot add noise if it isnā€™t there. The other power supply that is swapped in is cheaper, maybe a bit more if a pain to install. But it is half the price. I prefer they Teddy Pardo approach. The results are stunning.
