Looking for a CD player

I know exactly what you are asking. I had the 640 and I have an Arcam 33. Its really a tough call. For now, I would keep them both and alternate between the 2, and save up for something really good like an Ayre 7 or a Wadia 301/302. With a CD player like one of those, you'll not only combine the qualities of the 2 players you have now, you'll go up to another level entirely.

Good advice as usual Zd542 , but I'm 78, ain't saving up for anything, $1200 is it, thinking Marantz but haven't heard one in years.

78? You had me fooled. You post like 2 39 year olds.

What about a DAC? Both of your players have very good transports. There's a huge selection of DAC's in your price range, both new and used.

Good Idea, in my senility I forgot I have a Brit Beresford in the closet, try that for starters.

Zd, my Bresesford tc-7520 did just what I needed, improved the bass tonality and clarity on my Arcam quite a bit, PRAT improved some , things just about where I want them now, my system is 3Dish, almost holographic -tone and clarity fabulous -just tuned in to the max, my max anyway.
I truly had the feeling my Silverlines were going to start dancing playing some Count Basie just now,
Thanks.
Oh, I'm useing a Cardas Co-Ax ,is optical "spossed to be better?
