Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
Agree that the Cipher is an outstanding player.  Hope you have a sturdy rack - that thing is a monster! 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
There certainly are, and many are mentioned earlier in this thread.  My only concern with Audia Flight is after-sales support and warranty work, if needed.  Their components are built like tanks, so I have my fingers crossed that they perform just... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Unfortunately their distributor in NA has not put a lot of support behind the brand so they remain somewhat of a mystery here.  Their retail network is not very big, but I highly recommend an audition if you ever happen upon one.  Everything I've ... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
I have an Oppo 105D and sent it to ModWright for their complete upgrade. I auditioned an Audia Flight CD One M and it blew the modded Oppo completely out of the water when playing red book CDs.  Audia Flight comes next week and the Oppo gets re... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt, you might want to check out the Clarus Crimson HC power cord for your amp.  I have one on my Mark Levinson 23.5 and it made a big improvement.

Parasound JC3+ or Audia Flight Phono
Thank you both for your valuable feedback.  I'll give it a try and see how it goes.  I'm really looking forward to trying it out if it's as good as advertised. 
Parasound JC3+ or Audia Flight Phono
That's interesting.  I found the JC3+ noisy when I ran it through my Spectral DMC-20.  I switched out to demo an Audia Flight FL2 (just used as a pre) and it's dead quiet.  I thought it was the Spectral, but I guess not. 
Sell or save
I was just going through the same process. Through the never ending upgrade process, I ended up with an extra Parasound Halo Integrated, Mark Levinson 23.5 and Spectral DMC-20. I am on the fence about selling any of them, but I hate having them si... 
Integrated amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarnery Evolution
Definitely keep it Italian!  I suggest you look at the Audia Flight Two.
