Replacement of Cary CD player

rohlim OP
Thanks georgehifi,
in your response you talked about different Cary player, my player is 308, tube version. This has only coax and toslink digital out.

Still makes for a great transport, even with RCA spdif, and that great Philips CDM-12 laser.
Put it on a large floor tile, with a half inflated kids bike/scooter innertube under it, and it will serve you well (even pull the tubes) because they aren’t used.

Cheers George

PS Audio DMP.  Also plays SACD.  It's a transport, so you can keep your DAC.  You'll need to get a used one, as I believe PS Audio only sells a SACD only transport now.  

I seen many friends/acquaintances that sell up on their huge CD collection to go to servers or streaming.

This is the latest <<craze>> Not a  bandwagon I will ever jump on. My 20th C classical cd collection is complete, my  Cayin cd17 Mark 1,  just finished modding ///sounds ,,superr high fidelity>> just added a  Shanling 3000 and is being upgraded /new M caps + Sparksoslab descrete op amps, ..not sure which will beat out which in <,The Great tube cdp shootout>> 
My bet is on the Shanling once mods are completed in 3 weeks. 
anyway, my suggestion is geta  Cayin CD17 Mark2, which has a incredible INDESTRUCTIBLE trans(12 yrs use /zero issues) + tube DAC. Bal/unbalnced employs 6922 in both circuits. 
You will not regret it. 

Simaudio 260D without the DAC

excellent advice as above regarding keeping the Cary 308T.
Purchase a few back up CDM12 laser assemblies  and enjoy the Music!

Happy Listening!
