I need the more better digital

Forsell or CEC TX1 transport, Audio Logic 2400 DAC; much less sterile, and much more involving, than the brands you mentioned. You could add a DCS Purcell to that as well, to increase the harmonic richness of your CDs. Or else go with a turntable and vinyl, as Elgordo mentioned.

Accuphase DP-75V. It's really good

I have to second the dCS suggestion followed by the Accuphase DP-75V. Depending on your musical tastes these two units will definitely fit the bill. dCS is also going to release two new products soon - a SACD transport and an upgrade to the Purcell called the Grieg. For more info see http://www.dcsltd.co.uk/News/ces2001.htm Keep the vinyl too so you can have the best of both worlds. Have fun and enjoy the music. - Cheers Dan

Audiomeca is the best I've heard.The Mephisto2 transport and the Enkianthus dac. I auditioned this with the dcs and the dodson. This combo also sounded better than the Sony sacd.

Hey Snooky,
What is the price of Audiomeca gear? The big mags' haven't reviewed these yet (have they?). Dcs stuff too expensive -any relief with A/M? Thanks...
