What CD Palyer

Another CD player to consider is the Sony XA5400ES CD/SACD player. You have a lot of flexibility owning the MRX700 as it has HDMI inputs and the Sony outputs digital via HDMI. The Sony also has Balanced outputs and digital out.

The Sony is well regarded on this site and in the press, and is worth considering. This for music only and won't cover video or DVD audio.

Have a good search!

I have your budget and am waiting for the oppo bdp-95 to come out in the next few weeks.

good idea
Currently I have a Panasonic BDT-100 Blu-ray player 3D
Denon DVD -1920 (Which play SACD)
Onkyo Integra DX-C 606 (Which is 10 year old)
And PS3
Looking for something that is good with 2 chanels

NorthStar DAC and Transport, used is about in your price range. Like KL, I have owned some good digital (Esoteric, Levinson, Audio Aero - still own these 3)(DCS, EMM Labs, Wadia, Resolution Audio and others - formerly owned).

I agree with his assesment on the Raysonic, for the slightly warmer side. The Northstar will also give you a bit of that warmth, but not nearly as much as the Raysonic. That is why I am suggesting it, in case you find the Raysonice too warm. It (Raysonic) is more in the sound category as my Audio Aero Capitole (warm, beautiful, lush) while the Northstar is more in the category of the resolution Audio GNSC'd (a bit more neautral in shading)(reference to categories is for "flavor" only).
