Ruminations On CD Players
After multiple factory rebuilds, I'm ready to replace my twenty year old Arcam CD-73 CD player. I've looked through lists of recommended CD players in the $2000 range, and have noticed that some are all-inclusive while others have separate transports and DACs. Other than ease of replacement, what are the benefits of having the transport and DAC separate? Any recommendations on CD players in this price range? I only have music CDs so don't need anything that can do more than that.
Thanks,

"unfairly diss streaming".....you talk like you're dating and defending her honor. Your chivalry is misplaced. "not knowing what you're talking about" ....yes, I do, and you're starting to sound a lot like freddy. "unsolicited disinformation'....give me a break. This is not your personal sandbox and goes contrary to what you said earlier about having a say in something. "ha!"....meh All the best, |
@nonoise I don’t deal in ridiculous circular reasoning or disinformation. I’ve made my points and stand by them, and I’m out. |

After much consideration and review of the preceding posts, I finally pulled the trigger on a CD player. I got a Cambridge CXC v2 and a Jolida Glass FX III DAC. They sound great together and are a considerable improvement over my Arcam CD-73. I got the Cambridge on sale and the Jolida used, so I came in way under budget. And much better sound, which is the goal. Thank you all for your valuable input and insights. |
