here is my report on cd 6002(demo set) pair with zero dac.
1)speaker:epos 12.2(he offered me rm 2300) (gonna get this baby after raya

) with speaker stand made from solid wood
2)interconnect:qed quenex 2
3)speaker cable: chord carnival silver biwire
4)amp:soundstage 1.5
5)power cord: supra lorad for amp and cdp
6)test cd: duffy and pj harvey
7)time taken for the testing session: 3 hours
also tested marantz pm 7001 and magnum intergrated amp and marantz cdp ki sig.
results based on my ears......(without zero dac)
soundstage better than both amp.marantz...too bright.magnum...too laid back
marantz cd 6002 gave some harsh sound on high frequency.
than hooked up dac...wow...sound became so smooth...not too bright...ngam2 chai for me.
that guy in desa also impressed with this dac.
desa also got atc,tannoy,psb and polk audio.
no intention to promote desa overhere(to share only)....coz some shop in amcorp mall also good like accoustic solution and asia soud.can lepak2 the chatting with the boss without buying anything.
tested marantz cdp ki sig(with dac and without dac).......not much difference with cd 6002even ki sig rm 1150 more expensive than cd 6002.
conclusion:
never underestimate this dac.with the price that i paid, i'm more than happy
walked out with marantz 6002 (rm 1350).cdp still in run in process...at the time of writing.
now my 3 months old marantz cd 5001 is looking for new owner.still under warranty,got manual and remote control.i already put it in the original box.price rm 400 only.cod at subang jaya.can test first.no obligation.can pm me if intrested.
also checked some stuff at tong lee...still in big mess after av show.
should i try vibrapod? put this item underneath the cdp okay or not?
cheers,
