New school Or old School DAC Or Cd player?


Guys looking at new DAC- For example looking at the Terminator and Jays transport- I only play CD and was thinking for the same price that I pay for the terminator and transport- I can get a Rega Isis Cd player with high reviews-Or I can get a BAlabo DAC or other older High end DACS for the same price- which is a better choice for Redbook- If I go with the older DACS I get a hi end piece for pennies on the dollar and can use my Oppo as a transport or my Sound Science server- thanks for the advice-

@fluffers - I don't have the answer. However, I do have a Rega Saturn-R and it is fantastic. It is a dedicated transport, and multi-input DAC in one enclosure, so it works like a CD Player. I really like it and I've had many other great CD players. Based on my enjoyment of the Saturn-R, I would bet the Rega Isis is really fantastic.


Honestly I would go for Dac . There are many good dacs , troubadour from audio mirror, orchid, Schiit Yagdrassil and Gumby , Black ice DAC , that did well in Arizona Dac shootout...
