Upgrading cd player
I thinking about upgrading my Rega Isis CDP. I’m thinking about the Audio Research Ref 9se or the McIntosh MCD1200. Can anyone give me any thoughts / options on this ? Also I heard that Audio Research stopped production on the Ref 9se due to not being able to get the lasers anymore / that Phillips stopped making them ? I would also rather stick to a one box unit than separates. Ty. Also if anyone else can recommend anything also I would appreciate it. My budget is up at about 12k
In case you didn't know, you can click on an user name, say warfy for instance, then select details from the drop down menu, then click on marketplace feedback, and the persons city and state is shown if on their profile. This of course is only good if they have put their correct city and state and haven't moved since. Happy holidays to you and all. |
@mbmi I love the MQ112. It’s an awesome unit. I’m very glad I didn’t purchase the Schitt Loki max. I was going to until I heard about the MQ112 right before I was gonna buy the Max. Then found a Mac dealer very close to me and went in to hear it and LOVED IT. Also the Mac really fits in better with all my ARC high end gear. The Max seems to be more of low to mid fi unit IMO. What didn’t u like about the Loki max. ? I’d like to know. |
@tattooedtrackman Hmmm, upgrading a CD player???? If your budget is $12k I'm certain you already have a high end DAC. Why not get a unit that will allow you to RIP your CD,"s to a drive and just stream it. There are several units on the cheap , Eversolo DMP. All the way up to PS Audio Petfect Wave offerings |
You really should check out the Luxman 07x SACD CDP if possible. Retail is 10K. Detailed yet very musical. They also have RB CDP's for less money. I have the D06U which is the previous model. I much preferred over the Esoteric K01 and the dcs Puchini with clock which are far more expensive. Good luck. |
