Boulder 1021, DCS Debussy, Audio Research Reference Dac

[Jlaz]

Hi all,

I am wondering what your thoughts are the various digital players, Boulder's 1021, a DCS Debussy, or the Audio Research Reference Dac. While I have some thoughts, I, like many, want to gather some other opinions. The rest of the system is Boulder, and my interest in the 1021 is both system synergy, the cd player, and the fact that i can stream my upnp collection and use bubble upnp for other items. I still have a naim ndx, naim dac, and naim 555psdr powering the naim dac, i use for some streaming and my tv, etc. But... have considered other options.

Thanks for your thoughts.

You might want to add the dCS Rossini to your list (it'll do your upnp streaming also). Staying all Boulder has it's attributes also.

These things do sound different-always best to listen at a dealer or best in your home. I'm very fond of the dCS gear for digital...but your mileage may vary.
