Which CD\SACD?

I second the Ayre C-5xeMP. I have one in my system. Phenomenal.

Parasound discontinued their Halo CD 1.  Not much in terms of future-proofed technology, but an excellent spinner that you might be able to pick up at a great price.

I recently purchased a used Modwright Oppo 105D and upgraded the tubes. I also bought an Audio Research CD7 at the same time. I spend more time listening to the Oppo.

"geoffkait, that was an Oppo 103 just like it was a Toyota Camry that won the Daytona 500 yesterday...."

That’s why there are such things as modded Oppos or modded anything.

"You referred to it in the past tense, so why did you give it up after so much work?"

Good question. One reason is there was no more room in the Oppo. ;-)
