Hyperion HPS-938 speakers

Wifes and audio don't match well.
Mac and Hyperion will.
Audioquest will work well in your set-up and with Mac.
Owned both not too long ago.
CDP....well, yes it is true that you will get what you pay for it but there are nice choices in all categories. Find the best player in around 1K-2K that is musical (not detail, sharp or super reviling). Few for future references:

*Rega Apollo
*Consonance Reference 2.2 MKII tube output cdp
*Jas Musik
*Morrow Audio cdp with tube output (buffer)

From $1000 to $1800 new. Used at 20% to %40 off depending on age and condition.

Good luck

The Nordost Cables are as you descibed.Light in bass and mid,bright in highs

Also the Consonance droplet is a very nice cd player!

An aslo I agree with Ozyy about the Nordost cables. I had my system all wired up with valhallas and I got rid of them. All nordost have a unique sound that suppose is a good match only for dark sounding systems. Its definitely not a good match with your Hyperions.

Yes, Droplet is great but costs a lot more.
I know that there is (was? I'm not sure if it is still available) one up for sale as a dealer's demo for great price.
Opportunity like this does not come often.
True overachiever. I own one - I should know.
