Why would anyone buy an expensive CD player and just use the dac portion with a cheap player.? It’s like buying a Corvette and putting retread tires on it. I have an 8.5K Esoteric SACD Player which I use daily and wouldn’t think of attaching a cheap player to it. Of course Esoteric builds their own transports was Which in my case is the VRDS NEO transport and they don’t wear out. To each his/ her own but you are defeating the purpose of superior sound. What are you saving the transport for and when do you feel it will be ok to use if ever?
Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo
I was slightly surprised that there isn't a very large selection of CD player/DAC combos out there. Yamaha, Marantz, Musical Fidelity, and a few others make them, but not many other companies. It seems like building a cd player into a DAC makes a lot of sense, like an integrated amp. Can anyone recommend one these? My budget would $3000 tops. Thanks, J
