vinylvalet Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 902 posts 07-06-2021 at 02:25pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete One of the best sounding CD player / DACs I've heard (tube or solid state) is the Black Ice Audio Transport DAC (tube output stage). I think the retail price is very reasonable considering the sound quality. Unfortunately, they are backordered for several months out.
