I just refurbished my dad's Marantz 7 & 8B system and am grdaually upgrading the rest. I've got a carousel CD player and am wondering, should i upgrade the player or get a DAC?
Cedar, you're great. As you can clearly tell, this is a new hobby for me and frankly, the threads can get overwhelming, not to mention the costs. I appreciate your input.
Take your time and do your research. You can get very good digital for a reasonable price. New digital units are the worst investment in audio-buy used and buy something that is well liked so you can sell it if you end up not liking it.
