There is many literature about CD players, but I trully believe that diferences between Cd players are that small that is not worthy at all to spent above some amount of money. The differences are on the ears of the owner. I have experienced a funny story that completelly demonstrate my theory. Recently my unvle showed me his system, something that is not from this planet. First of all, he did it by himself. everything except the CD player.
Speakers. Made with Scan-Speak drivers top line, Revelator. In the market you have to spent over $8000 and still you could be far away.
Amplifier. A jewel tube gear made using the finest tubes (16 in total) on a solid alumimun chasis and two generous power supplies. 50 Watts per channel. In the market you have to go over $10000.
CD player. Sony ES series from 1995. Something good in its time but now very obsolete. Actually was used as transporter with a custom made DAC. One Wolfson WM8740 DAC (top line) per channel single boxed and powered. There is no a CD player in the market with such a DAC system.
My uncle misconnected the DAC system and we were listening to the Sony DAC 12 years old technology thinking that was the external DAC system, what a voice, what a resolution!!! We said. When we realized we connected the DAC system and the difference was ZERO. My uncle said: what a waste of money!!! The best source possible and the differnece is nothing.
