Is it better to buy a streamer as I don’t have thousands of cd’s? But what ?Yes! I’d highly recommend an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer/server as it’ll allow you to rip all your CDs right into it and also start streaming — no transport (or computer) necessary. The significant added benefit is that all your music will now be at your fingertips in any order you want — no more getting up to search for and load individual CDs. Pair the Innuos with a good tube DAC like the Audio Mirror Tubadour SE Mklll or MHDT Pagoda (both available with in-home trial periods) and I think you’ll be thrilled. Hope this helps, and best of luck in your search.
From Audio Research ref cd player to what ? (Cd Transport, streamer, Dac.....?)
I have sold my Ref cd7 as I was willing to upgrade. I thought buying a new dac with a new transport , giving more versatility would be better.
I realize now that lots of transport are available and that finally I just have 200 cd’s or so and the investment on a transport is maybe not that wise....
What quality of transport do I need to buy to be at least at the level of the cd7 ? Moving up the scale I have seen the nuprime cdt 10, simaudio 260d or t , a newly developed project rst2, or the jay’s cdt2 mk2.
What quality of DAC for not to be disappointed with my previous cd7 ? I have seen Ayre Codex or Yggdrasil or Bryston BDA3 or psaudio , or mytek....

All of this will be associated to an Audio Research Ref3 , 2x Audio Research Ref 250 , Magnepan 20.7.
I don’t like anemic sound and prefer full bodied, romantic, yet envelopping and textured sound.
I don’t need over transparency as my above rig is sufficiently transparent to let everything appear even in the smallest details.
What do you think ?
thank you
