Best upgrade for cd player?

My personal experience with sorbothane is that it sucks the life out of music. Check out Machina Dynamica springs, which I have under everything but my speakers, which are on Harbor Freight dollys

There’s a lot more to balanced then just having XLR I/Os. The circuits must also be balanced= more money=better sound

Thanks to speakermaster and dinov. Helpful!

Get a good DAC.  That’ll give you more of an improvement than pumping more $ into an Oppo that’s out of business

+1 get a good new school R2R discrete dac with volume, and go direct to poweramp/s

Cheers George

+1 in_shore. Computer/server audio surpasses sonically my CD transport (Teac/Esoteric P1). Having my CD collection on a hard drive now, as well as streaming Tidal via an I Pad is just the icing on the cake. Good listening!

@jafant . If I had funds would buy reference dac, likely Berkeley.  Accident/medical expenses killed that possibilty. Off hand answers to simply go out and " buy reference" are a bit difficult for me to appreciate; plus they are not really on topic. Are you becoming a little cynical? :)
