CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better?

What do you have now? Maybe an $1100 DAC will get you more bang for the buck, if you currently have a decent CD or DVD player that can be used as a transport.

Channel Islands new dac for only 600 bucks I'll bet is worth a look at. These have only been shipping for about a week but after discussing the design on the phone with Dusty 600 bucks is a bargain. The above poster makes a great point. There's a number of good dacs for less money than 1,00 that would be worth trying.

I agree with Warnerwh and Sugarbrie ,,,DAC, could also add a Monarchy DIP ,

I had the Unico CDP for about 5 months and did not like it too much. I posted a couple of comments here (see response under restock). I would probably rather try a Jolida JD100, consider the new Rega Apollo, a Naim CD5i, or Arcam CDP.

Good luck,

Rene

I just had my Sony DV-900 modded by TRL and I don't think I could do any better for $5000.
