Cdp Why? far more distortion then a top quality dac. the platter wobbles no matter how good it is the error correction has to work over time
Buy a Denafrips terminator + for $6500 no player can approach this ,everything is through a hard drive or high Rez streaming .
if you have money to spend extra and want a cdp it it can be very good
but not in the same league ,you can spend up to $100k on digital
that in many ways surpass even the best turntables in many areas
S/n, THD, true 20 bit resolution , turntable 12.5 bits max ,much lower defined Bass. Cd even with DSD inferior in absolute terms. I am just making an observation.
