Reimyo and CD Player Comparison

My present CD player is a Combak Reimyo CDP777. Would I significantly improve the sound if I switched to one of the three following players: dCs Puccini, Meridian 808.2, or the top of the Spectral line? If so, which one? And what sonic benefits could I expect?

Since I own a cdt 777 and the 999EX Dac I would say just get a 999EX its what you got only way more. (I assume the 777 cdp has a digital out). The 777cdt and 999EX combo easily beats the Puccini and the meridian. I have not heard the Spectral. Of course thats just my opinion, I could be wrong ):

Starcon, You make an interesting suggestion. Have you actually compared your Reimyo transport and DAC combination to the Meridian 808.2 and the Puccini?

I had owned a lot of CDP & transport/Dac combos. Olso DCS Encore/Elgar plus DSD, Meridian 808i, Wadia 270-27ix Krell 25 sc(24bit) All very good brands. But the Reimyo CDP 777 deliver magical amazing organical sound performance I never heard bevor. Connected with very good interconnects from Adagio audio cables "Generation 2 "interconnects (hand made in Germany)the best ic. I ever owned and DCCA (USA) powercord.
The rest of your system Pre/amp and speakers must deliver olso very good performance.

Don't think so, I had one and is very had to have "significant" differences - the issue/media is the source of its shortcomings, if any.

I would rather suggest you to start digging into HiRez downloads.

I am thinking of options for a good cdp.
I have the funds to enable me to purchase a Japanese Marantz cdp SA11s3. SACD feature is no a mandatory feature of my need although it will be good to have going forward.

My collection consists largely of ordinary Cds so I do not want where possible to purchase a duplicate set of albums in SACD.

I am therefore thinking of either buying a NEW marantz  SA11s3 or a USED AMR CD77 or a Reimyo CDP777 . I am thinking in this direction because I want to maximise the SQ from my colletion of redbook cds.

Apart from difficulty in getting repairs and parts for the 2 old brands, is there a common understanding/agreement  that the 2 used cdp brands is very much superior in SQ for red-book cds compared to the marantz ?

I need advice on these 3 options.

Please avoid the introduction of other brands .

Thank you.
