Recommend used digital source for $3K used


This spring, I'm planning on being in a position to spend some money on a significant upgrade. One consideration is a new digital source in the "not to exceed" $3K range. I'm currently using a Jolida JD 100 with RCA NOS tubes.

I'm open to both CDP's or transport/DAC options, and already assume I will get the most bang for my buck with a DAC/transport.

Fellas, fellas, please... Wc65mustang could not possibly be Audiogon member AudioFeil, because that would mean that he is shilling for products he sells, and using another "identity" to make it seem legit, no less. Now we have seen many cases in this forum of Wc65mustang raking longstanding and highly respected Audiogon members over the coals for what HE described as shilling with a most righteous fervor, so you see, if he were REALLY AudioFeil, this would make him a complete hyprocrite. This simply cannot be. Can it, Wc65mustang? Mustang? Mustang??

I think I saw him on the evening news leaving town in a white ford Bronco.

Resolution Audio Opus 21, Ayre CX-7e, Meridian G08 are all very good players with LOTS of INFO available here on the Gon.
I auditioned a few units in that price range -- Linn, Naim and some others.

The Ayre unit was not available at the time and I wish it had been.

I fell for the Electrocompaniet. It has remarkable sound.
I'd give a listen to the Linn Ikemi. Used you can save yourself $1000 and I doubt that extra grand will get you a better player.
