Need advice for CDP selection

Thanks for the replies folks. I need to get out and find some of these cdp's to demo. I have been to many of the local high end shops (Seattle and Portland) but have not been able to find anything but Sony, Krell, Levinson, and Shanling. Does anyone know where to find these units in this area? I have not decided on redbook or SACD yet. It really comes down to what works best with my current gear. Krell FPB 350MC's, Krell HTS 7.1, and N802's. I may add a 2 channel pre if necessary but hope to avoid that expense with the right cdp. Thanks again.

The Opus 21 can run directly into your FPB 350MC's and the HTS can run directly into your Opus 21 if the HTS has a digital output. If not, you would have to buy an Analogue to Digital converter which range in price from $50.-$3000. This set up elliminates the need to buy a seperate preamp.

Give Bruce Jacobs a call for home demos.He is at:{920}-733-8539/Sound World.I have had many pieces through the house to audition IN MY OWN SYSTEM.It's the only way to be sure that you will be happy with your decision over the long haul.Happy hunting!

resolution audio will allow you to demo the opus 21, which will connect directly to you amp and has a built in volume control, for 30 days for free. (except shipping charges if you decide not to keep it)

I have read some threads and a review that complained about the clearly audible whine from the CD mechanism on the Opus. Any comments about this from Opus owners?
