Fraim vs SC DR?
Posted by: daren_p on 22 June 2017
Curious to hear other input, I was all set to finally take the plunge & order some full Fraim levels for my Naim gear (& a couple FraimLite levels for non Naim gear). I have been putting this off for a long time as out of all my purchases, this one is the hardest for me to justify vs the cost. Right now I'm Metrum acoustics Menuet DAC for digital, RP6/Simaudio 310LP Neo for analog, 282, HCDR, 250DR, HiLine from DAC. I'm currently just using what they call a "flexi" rack here (in that the shelves are adjustable). Its just DIY, 3/4" threaded roads with 3/4" thick MDF shelves. Now just when I was about to place my order for the Fraim levels, a local dealer has got a trade in SC DR that is very recent, that is rather temping. My plan is to stick with the 282 for some time but my only other planned black box upgrade in the future was going to be the SC DR. I'm still leaning towards going with Fraim but I'm curious what other owners think about which upgrade is better? (trading in my HC DR would actually make the SC DR the cheaper option).
