Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?

Musical Fidelity M1 CDT transport, Pagoda balanced dac.

I use the Modwright modified Marantz player. I like the modifications and performance Dan can get.

phillyb,

Just listened to Sgt. Peppers 50th on vinyl. You were right. Will listen to the alternate takes when I get home from another follow up with the Surgeon.
Well worth having this 50th anniversary issue.
Your advice is solid.

Thanks
Norbert

I have an Oppo 103 but never use it for redbook. Only HT Video. I use to. But after much experimentation I discovered ripping CDs using db Poweramp to lossless FLAC. Then playing back the files using a PC running JRIver fed through USB to an outboard DAC made even a player as good as the OPPO sound bad. Even when I ran the Oppo through the same outboard DAC.

I'm in a dilemma. I have a lot of music on my PC (redbook and high-resoIution). I normally load an album by connecting to the PC using a VNC client on my phone. I have very few SACDs, but a lot of DSD files that I can play from my PC. If you had the money for either the Marantz SA-10 or the Aurender A10, which one would you buy? The Aurender definitely wins in convenience: I would only need to buy an iPad and then I could play everything using the Conductor app. On the other hand, I hear amazing things about the reproduction quality of the Marantz, and although I have already ripped all of my music onto my hard drive, the Marantz can also be used as a DAC via USB (but without a proper control app). The disc reader is nice and a lot of thought has gone into it, as far as I understood from the reviews, but I am afraid that the future will not in physical discs (especially since the Marantz cannot play multi-channel recordings).
Any opinions are welcome.
