Audiothesis:
My system is The Plinius 9200 integrated which I felt added some crispness and richness and clarity to my lush tube sound of my BAT VK-D5. My speakers are Apogees Stages that are like my first born.
I refurbished them & resurrected them from the dead. I dread the day the bass panels atrophe as that will be the end of the line.
After a few Arcam CD players the Jolida JD100 was my first foray into tubes maybe 12 years ago...and then after trying a few others my aha moment was with the BAT.
Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk..
I am considering a sim audio moon cd transport 260dt to replace my beloved CD player that just died.I have a Plinius 9200 integrated. What do I need to make this combo work? Do I need a DAC?I get that transports are different from players but I just want to make sense of all of this in a simple way. thanks!

+1 on glennewdick comments. I ripped all my CDs onto a HDD and use a streaming device for Tidal and Spotify. That enabled me to keep all my bought music and explore all the new music Spotify and Tidal have to offer. I may even buy a year membership to Roon. I did this with less than $1000. I have my Macbook Pro for a ripping device, bought a Western Digital MyCloud with plenty of storage and use a Bluesound Node 2 for streaming and access. The Vault 2 can do ALL OF THIS, but there are other options. Although I like my two CD players, I don’t trust them as they are older now. Investing in an expensive CD player seems very limiting to me. The very biggest surprise in my journey is how good MQA albums sound on Tidal! Just an added bonus. I hope? Tidal does not fold and go out of business?!? |
Perhaps this could be your end game: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649456868-amr-cd77-reference-cd-player-one-of-the-best/ It isn't cheap, but it wasn't cheap to begin with. |
Nekoaudio..yes...I know reviews can never substitute hands on...when I assembled my system I went through many hours /days/weeks listening..I enjoyed that high when i hit that slice of nirvana..Mahler: I am not counting out a SACD capable CDP...I have upwards of 800 classical CD's ..it's a couple of lifetimes of relistening that I plan to re-start... 2psyop: I get it, I really do..that I may be not taking advantage of new technology..There's partially a practical reason: I work 6 days a week and to find the gear , (that's the fun part that I am up for), but what sounds like time consuming process of transferring my CD collection sounds like eating up precious listening time... audiothesis: that AMR could be a wow... I need to make sure I same or better my nirvana... |
If you are considering 2.5 to 3k possible to spend on a cdp, this one could also be setting you up for life https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gryphon-Adagio-CD-Player-with-box-remote-and-manual/132766285909?ssPageName... |
