Please recommend a CD player for me. Audio only, 2.1 system. I have a Parasound P5 pre with a Parasound 21 amp, Snell A2 speakers, a Snell 550 sub with its own amp, a Snell SPA 200 and good cables. Thanks for your thoughts
I have a Oppo 83se and my Marantz Sa 8005 sounds a lot better. The Oppo 83 se hurts my ears after about a hour. The Marantz it is one great cd and the dac for hi res DSD 2.8 ,5.6. Sound great.
Just picked up a Rotel RCD 1570 because I thought it sounded more pleasing than a Oppo 105D, which I was considering more for audio playback than anything else. All the features the Oppo has are nice but the Rotel, with the Wolfson DAC processors, just sounded better.
I had also been itching to get a better sound for my CDs and decided to get a better DAC instead of getting a better CDP. A side benefit, if the DAC has multiple coax inputs, is the ability to use it for other digital sources like a streaming device, etc. I'm using it with my Node 2. I don't know if its a better chip set or something else but the music sounds a little less fatiguing with the outboard DAC. Just a thought.
