CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help.

I'm fairly new to this insanity so please talk slowly. Haha.

My system is-  Bel Canto Pre2
                        Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps
                        Exogal Comet with Power supply
                        Arcam FMJ CD 23
                        Panamax 5500 regenerator
                        Usher 8571 Diamond speakers


   This is a 2 channel music only system. I am happy with the Arcam cd player but i would like to play SACD also. If I change players i would probably want a substantial upgrade but i'd rather not put a dollar amount to it. I have a good DAC so what direction should i go in?  Help please. Mike Houstina

I agree dave_b.

I have auditioned almost all of the MM2 series cables/cords to include the mighty OPUS line.  It never disappoints. Transparent is an excellent company IMO.

I think it's important to recognize sacd discs can be mastered poorly. I've heard great Sacds and poor quality versions. I've heard redbook discs that are more resolving and dynamic than Sacds I've listened to.

I've decided that my audio dollars can be used in better places.

bubba12,
Just curious. What direction are you going, if not a CD/SACD player.

I am considering the Oppo 105d + Bryston BDA-3 in a few months.

I'm going to stick with the Arcam CD player and MacBook Pro through my Exogal Comet. I'm not going to worry about SACD right now.
