While reading through the many threads on Vinyl vs. CD, I thought it might be interesting to see what CD transports/players Vinyl fans use when not listening to their analog rig?
Despite the rumored fanfare out there (cd players are on their way out of HiFi), we continue to see better cd players, at all price points, hitting the marketplace.
I previously owned a modded Ayon CD-5s and am now running an Aesthetic Romulus tube cd player. The Romulus is certainly analogue sounding. It has as similar sound to the CD-5s, albeit with less bass slam and fewer bells and whistles.
Sony SCD XA5400ES with the ModWright Ultimate Truth Mod. Upgraded the stock Sovtek 6SN7 output tubes to Sophia Electric 6SN7 and the stock Sovtek 5AR4 rectifier tube to a NOS Philips 5R4GYS. A pair of WyWire Juice II Silver power cords complete the package. Works really well with both my Shindo and Audio Research systems.
