Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?


I am 100% invested in vinyl, but want to improve my digital equipment chain.

Once I’ve upgraded my streaming equipment, why purchase a quality CD/SACD transport?

Is there a large enough subset of music that sounds better via optical media?

As mentioned above, I've ripped all my CDs and put them on shuffle..just over 100 hours of material.  I just received a Holo May DAC and wow..what an upgrade from my McIntosh MA12000 DAC.  The ripped CDs sound so musical.  Everything about the presentation is better.  I'm streaming off iFi Zen Stream/ Roon Core i7 NUC/64TB Synology DS1522+ with dual SSD Cache.

I love your system venue… so clean. You have lots of players, what are you using to stream?

What is your system? There is a place to show it under your ID. This is really helpful to see where you are coming from. What streamers have you tried?

Thank You for the kind words. No Streaming allowed in my System. Strictly CD and SACD only.

 

Happy Listening!

Cd transport definitely mo betta in my system. I’m sure the megabuck ones are A ok.
