Skip the CD player and go straight to a hi-rez music server and service if you don't want to rip your collection of CDs. You will never look back.
Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Ok so I guess this is as much a change just for the sake of change, lol, as tbh I am pretty happy with my setup but it has been the same equipment for the last 3 years so just what the heck, lets fiddle.....
So present equipment is:
Krell KAV250A
Acoustic Research LS2
Krell s-350
Usher cp-6381
Now i listen nearly exclusively to rock, mostly modern rock like Avenged sevenfold, stained, shinedown, saving abel, halestorm etc etc. Some more classic rock if I am feeling mellow.
I do not believe anything much else will ever grace my systems
I fully realize I may take a step backward or two but if there are far more expensive players out there there may be one that suits my ears better.
Budget is up to $4k used or new
Any good suggestions please.

I am over the top happy with my Oppo 103D... it rendered my DAC ineffective. Better yet would be the Oppo 105D with a $400 upgrade from Stereo Dave's Audio Alternative to signficantly improve the sound staging and inner detail. Oppo is in my mind the best performance vs. cost component on the market. |
I second twoleftears. Absolutely it's the new Bryston BCD-3. I didn't listen to it, and no one has yet, but I have the BCD-1 which is superb. Absolutely full confidence on the soon to arrive the Bryston BCD-3. |
i am really in the market just to replace the cd player, at this time i do not have the inclination or intention to go fully digital with usb or wave file players, way too many cds going back years and years to be bothered to "rip" them to a music server or computer or similar. Pretty old fashioned and cd digital tech is about as far as this old fart is moving tbh. |
