Hi mates,
I also need some comments regarding D10 vs D50s vs DX7s. My situation a bit different, I got 2 systems :
1) Marantz Sa Ki Pearl lite(Sa8004) & Marantz PM15S2Se
2) Musical Fidelity MVX Preamp & P270
Initially, I plan to get D10 for both system :
1) make use of it’s optical output as a “USB>spdif convertor” for Marantz Sa Ki Pearl lite, because Marantz existing USB-B only support up to 24/96 whereas optical/coaxial possible up to 24/192. Would I get better sound by D10?
2) RCA line out from D10 to Musical fidelity MVX, direct streaming DSD/hires files from PC.
If I opt for D50s, drawback is..there is no spdif output for my system 1. But would I get much better sound for my system 2 because of superior es9038q2m chipsets?
If I opt for DX7s, there is a coaxial out link to my system 1. But again would i get much better sound for my system 2 because of superior es9038q2m chipsets? Reviews stated “DX7s use better DAC, better USB interface and better headphone amp.... etc etc”. Drawback is.. price is much more expensive than D10 and D50s and I don’t need those headphone amp..
Also, I do not think I will make use of preamp function of D50s & DX7s and probably I need to set it as “Fixed” at 0db rather than “variable” because I believe that MF MvX preamp is better. Moreover, with budget on DX7s, there are more other options..
So which is better option for me? It is like es9018k2m(D10) vs es9038q2m(D50s, DX7s)..
Thankssssssss
