2pysop. Unfortunately this is not an option. I have well over 2,000 CD's and the amount of time to burn them isn't there. I just spent over a year burning and recording around 6,0000 songs for my radio station's playlist (three different formats) and that had to be done while working around other things including a full time job with OT. Will have to stick with either a new CD player or DAC.
My money situation is better thanks to a nice raise at work and I will likely buy a new CD player and a DAC. Leaning towards the Rotel models especially the 11 thanks to the late Ken I's involvement with the design. DAC will be for the Onkyo CD player. I have three systems and can use both.
Does anyone know how well the Rotel's handle CD's that skip occasionally?
