Iv'e seen a few people using tube buffers with CD sources with good results . Is there any loss of detail this way ?
Iv'e been using an Ayre CD5MP as a transport , into a Levivson #360S DAC , I think it gives me a similar effect . The right about of musicality , more swing , a natural flow .

I don't want a $25000 piece of equipment mucking with my signal.

Less is better, right?

Less should be better , the least corrupted , but it doesn't seem to go that way with audio .

When I had the $50K+ systems I listened to the equipment. My new, simpler setup wt the yaoin tube buffer makes me crave listening to the many great performances I have on disc like a stoner craves food! The NAD/Yaoin combo is magical and that is the God's honest truth.

I would go with a used Sony SCD-1 or SCD-777ES.
