Hi Sud
I have heard the BD-83 and BD-80 in my own setup and compared to Cd6002 individually. It is good for background listening when not paying attention to music, but lacks that quality that makes an entry into "audiophile" class - even a budget one. The body and tone is where it lacks.
The Sh!t was to emphasize the 15K premium being contemplated by a member for considering its DAC. Certainly not worth any extra money if one wants a tongue tickling foretaste of audiophile SQ.
Edit: As to why it wont t match and compare to SQ of a SA-15S2, the details of the implementation make all the difference I suppose.
Hope the Sh!t is now cleared :lol:
Cheers
