Is it time to upgrade

bobo, esp. in view of the rapid devaluation/devolution of the cd medium, i personally wouldn't drop a grand on a cdp--i'd invest in a separate dac and use your old denon (or equaivalent) as a transport. lots of good ones around $300-500--mf vdac, arcam, rega, cambridge dac magic. not only will those significantly improve sonics, but give you the flexibility of enhancing other digital sources like your pc or cable box. you can spend the savings on quaity bourbon and come out way ahead. just my pontification for the evening.

Well I have a large collection of CD's 500 or so.So I will allways have them.Thanks for the TEAC tip'That one gets alot of good praise.The oppo 95 also looks to be great,Stereophile A+ LIST 'wow.Its Dacs are suppose to be great.And the CD is not going anywhere.It will be here as long as I am alive.

Oppo 95 for sure! with that shinny disc collection your gonna be elated and wait till you stick a usb flash drive in with some hires files! and yeah its Dac's are the cats meow!

i have a simple question:

are you satisfied with the performance of your stereo system ?

Simple question.Is anyone in this hobby satisfied.My old system was a Rotel integrated'Monitor audio rs6'and my current Denon CD 1600.I went 13 years with this system and was happy'but knew I do better.
I finally replaced the Rotel with the new Music Hall a70.2 integrated'the difference was amazing.Not even close.
Then I bought new Martin Logan Vistas'the difference was even bigger.
My Denon while sounding good is old and I know their is better'so I want the best sound possible with my new system.Then I can sleep satisfied.
