The best CD Player for the money

@Budburma, yeah time for a change. The Romulus is amazing at it's price point. But I have a pretty special spinner waiting in the wings to replace it. Hint: it is made in Denmark!

Wish I could pick it up. I think that by the time it was shipped and converted I could almost buy a new one.
Danes don't lie. At least that's they say. I gues they could be lying about that though!
Let's see....
GamuT-nope, not that pricey
Bow...are they still extant?
Gryphon-Darth Vader stylin' high end...
Dali..Dynaudio, nope, speakers. Did Dynaudio move?
I'm out of ammo.

Have you ever considered MSB Technologies? Their technology looks pretty amazing.

Hi Bud, yes "The Beast" uses an MSB Diamond dac & I can tell you the Vitus RCD-101's dac kills it, and the dac is the SCD-025 is even better. Also being a bit old school, I never really took a liking to the pancake chassis of that gear.

This is astonishing! This thread has been going for nearly 15 years!! :)

I have a Cambridge Audio 751BD universal player for my transport. Purchased a demo model for $899 CDN in 2013, I think?? Great unit! Very versatile although I now use it in tandem with a Bryston BDA-1 DAC and that totally blows away the 751BD's built in DAC, IMHO.

I have the Cambridge Audio 851C on my radar now though. It's been getting some excellent reviews. Anyone here familiar with that model yet?
