Jimmy, thanks for the follow up comments on the Ayre unit. When you get around to adding that second system, another consideration you may want to pursue is the Resolution Audio Opus 21 with GNSC reference mods. Used you can currently get these for about $3,100. The benefit being the acceptance of digital inputs and also an analog volume control. For a second system, you can get a decent, moderately powered two channel amp, the Opus 21 and a Slim Devices Duet and have a pretty encompassing system. Of course, you could also go with an Audio Aero Capitole, but that will be a lot more money.
CD Player with digital input?
I am looking for CD Player ideas. I like the idea of finding a player that has digital input to that I can send it digital input from a sonos ZP80 and in doing so no longer need my Benchmark Dac1 and be able to sell the Benchmark to help offset the cost of the CDP. (unless of course the cpd's with digital inputs cost $700 more in which case it becomes irrelevant.
My other components are:
McIntosh MA6900, B&W 805s.
Currently using a cheapo toshiba xa2 hd dvd player to send coax to the Benchmark. The sound improvement was so much over the sonos fed WAV files going to the benchmark and I am curious about what a "REAL" CDP can do in my room.
Thanks in advance!
