Give me 1 week & I should be able to make a comparision with my modified Theta Pearl CDT.

Right now it is still sitting on the test bench. Have to haul it up to the listening room.

Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to post my first impression. I have done some brief listening maybe about 1.5 months back. All I can say is that based on the preliminary listening, the CD-Pro sounds more "smooth" than the Theta. That is good for some music like ballad but maybe not so good for harder stuff like rock. Too early to make a conclusion.

I still feel that there is potential for the CD Pro to replace the Theta. However, I am not thinking about that at the moment as I have managed to screw up my AN 1.1 DAC shortly after my last post (the ultimate mod - nasty hum whenever I switch on my DAC ). I am unable to listen to music on the main system ever since.

On the spur of the moment, decided to order an AN 21. balanced but still waiting after 1 month+. Sigh.

Once I get back on my feet, I will again investigate the CD-Pro.

Regards,
Joe Ling

So sorry, appears that I missed something. Compared to the stock clock, it is definitely a discernable improvement. In that sense, it is something worth trying out as the outlay is marginal

Is your external clock 8 Mhz as the original ?
Is possible to use a 16 Mhz clock without more changes ? (The SAA7324 supports 8, 16 and 32 Mhz but I dont know if there is necessary changes in the configuration).

Dear Josep,

I used the 8mhz clock as per the original crystal. I am not technically competant enough to try the other clock frequencies.

Thanks Guido, actually I've just bought the kit from them...
What i'm looking for is feedeback and opinion about the changes it brings about , if it's worth doing it or not.
I already put a clock (not yours sorry!) in a Cd2.2 Consonance and it was a great improvement but also simpler to implement.
