What CD players give the best soundstage depth, and layering?
I listen mainly to classical, a lot of orchestral, and I like to hear that the brass and woodwind are sitting towards the back of the stage, *behind* the strings, not floating in air above them.
The thing is, I *am* getting good soundstaging and layering from LPs, but CD playback falls short in this regard, hence my question. The CDP in the system currently is an older 777 Sony model, which is to be replaced soon, but by what?
Just get a better CD player period. If it outputs nice clean detailed sound, that will in itself produce the good soundstage, if you have the rest of the system in good order.
