These are all great blues, more importantly for this purpose they are all recorded exclusively with AudioQuest wire in the recording chain. Terry Evans Putting It Down, or Doug MacLeod You Can’t Take My Blues, or Mighty Sam McLain Sledgehammer Blues. Since you have vinyl, if you want to hear what I’m talking about get yourself a few records on the AudioQuest label. Well first of all your choice of wire is only making a bad situation worse. But how would that connect to avoid the internal processing. Is there such a thing as an external D/A converter for a H/T setup as the Lexicon processor is the oldest piece in the chain with most likely the weakest D/A converter. Analog front end shares the L/R front speaker and input from the Oppo. Systems are: B&W 803D2 and surrounds, Lexicon MC12B, Oppo BDP 103, AQ Columbia ICs XLR & RCA, AQ Digital ICs, Tara Labs speaker cables, Rogue Pharaoh, VPI Prime. Would an external D/A converter be beneficial or a waste of money? I do not have this issue playing analog media. Do I live with less resolution or the digital limitations.

I'm at a point where any Redbook CD presents a harsh, edgy, shrilly, bright, name it what you want, upper frequency. ![]() ![]() As my choices of ICs went from basics to high quality resolution improved with a marked decline in digital SQ. That being a Lexicon MC12B processor and Oppo BDP103. My digital D/A conversion knowledge is pretty much limited to whatever is done by the internal D/A converter of the equipment. This makes my CD collection of in excess of 1000 titles pretty much useless. As my systems improved in quality/resolution, the digital audio quality has equally deteriorated to where most listening is now done in analog. Over the years and after multiple "upgrades" I've become disillusioned with digital audio reproduction. ![]()
