Hello! I'm interested in acquiring a NAD disk player, but I'm divided between two models:
• a 2nd hand NAD C541 disk player (for 240€)
• a 1st hand NAD C538 disk player (for 360€)
*Specifications for the NAD C541*
Digital converter: PCM1732U, Delta Sigma 24 bit, 8 x oversampling
Frequency response: 5Hz to 20kHz
Dynamic range: 98dB
Signal to Noise Ratio: 108dB
Channel separation: 80dB
Total harmonic distortion: 0.0035%
Digital outputs: coaxial
Year: 2001
*Specifications for the NAD C538*
Digital converter: Wolfson, 24 bit, 192kHz
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio: 110dB
Channel separation: 90dB
Total harmonic distortion: 0.01%
Year: 2018
There doesn't seem to be that much of a difference, even though I can't comprehend the difference between the digital convertes (24bit 8x oversampling vs 24bit 192kHz).
I'd like to know your opinion. Thank you!
