Thanks,

    The 750 might be ok.I had a 575 and thought it was ok...till I got a theta data basic.In comparison the adcom was way too forward in the mids.Now I think they suck.

    The 750 is actually outstanding, plus it can be used as dac as well because it has a digital in/out. It uses the exact same analog/digital components as the GDA 700 dac. The only gripe is the display is very difficult to read from across the room.


    The 575 was a nice player for the day, but they are approaching an age where they just plain wear out and aren't really worth the cost to fix. If you buy one cheap enough, just run it till it dies.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node3 - Tubes add soul!
