Cd player

If your DAC is compatible then the following is great, even with the cheapest used OPPO as a transport (like $200). An additional bonus is that it also plays DSD (SACD). My Benchmark DAC3B and Schitt Yggi+ LIM DACs both work with it. I was thinking of the new Schitt URD (sp?) CD player but tried the D.BOB and found it exceeded expectations. I also wanted SACD. My prior player was a Sony SCD-1, which died after 20+ years.

How about a pioneer Elite Pd 93 very nice

@jred - I don't know why they didn't include aes/ebu, but the DAC sounds great.  Same chip as in the D-10X that has gotten rave reviews.

As long as you enjoy it. That is what matters.

I own a Project RS2T transport. I had to return 2 of them as they did not work( quality control was terrible)  (maybe still is) The third I purchased again from The Music Room. its been a charm so far. It has the stream unlimited  CD Pro 8 mechanism, and the Blue Tiger cd-84 servo system. Very high end units have similar. ($$$$$$) It is the finest I've heard yet, by a WIDE margin. My current DAC is a Bricasti M1 SE. Anyone that owns one (RS2T) will back up my statement.
