I would buy a nice dac and keep your CD player as the transport. This will give you the upgrade in sound quality you want since you have just replaced the audio processor in the cd player with something presumably newer and better. And you will be able to use the dac with other devices like phones, tablets, computers, etc. for streaming or Hi-Rez music files. I use an external DAC to decode a coax feed from an Oppo Blu-ray player, and my dac has an additional optical input and a USB input for switching between other connected devices. When im not using the Oppo, I can plug my phone into the USB input and stream hi res Internet radio stations. Love the flexibility.
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.
