I believe in diminishing returns after a certain point. I am very curious to hear the Technics SL-G-700

CDP or DAC?
I want to get back to playing and enjoying my 500+ cd's! Been listening 95% of the time to a nice high end turntable $15k+ setup but would also like to have the option of listening to my cd collection to where it sounds at least competitive with my vinyl enjoyment.
I have no interest in streaming just playing cd's. Does it make more sense to go with a cdp or transport and separate dac?
Budget $5 - $15k. Thoughts

Physical media is not the answer if you rip your cds you can get far better sound particularly if you get a God server which sounds far superior to any pc We are in love with the Aqua hifi dacs which are Discrete ladder dacs with a fpga front end They are very analog like and are completely modular and upgradable Dave and troy Audio intellect nj 432evo server Importers and aqua hifi dealers |
You should try and get an optimised streaming device setup: it‘ll significantly outperform any CDP or server you might use. I have uploaded my CD collection to my InnuOS Zenith Mk3. After initial trials I never used it getting my playback via Qobus instead. The transfer of the CDs to the server disc was done on my modified Audioaero Capitole MkII, which to this day counts among the best CDPs. |
