Please recommend a CD player for me. Audio only, 2.1 system. I have a Parasound P5 pre with a Parasound 21 amp, Snell A2 speakers, a Snell 550 sub with its own amp, a Snell SPA 200 and good cables. Thanks for your thoughts
Only your ears will tell. Either way, next challenge is to get the jitter out of the interface, which is already addressed with a good all-in-one player.
Sound to me like you have the opportunity to evaluate both approaches in your own system. I encourage you to do so. I also have a computer based system using the Mac Mini however at times insert a CD into my player. The Marantz will provide you that option in addition to possibly supplying a better sounding DAC.
