1st Question-have CDP 's really improved in recent years?


I've been hanging onto my dbx DX3 CDP (since '86) because the dbx processing circuitry (impact restoration & "ambience control") is exceptional, but it bass response is weak compared to FM and DVDs. I have a recent Sony DVD player in the system, but it's bass is no better from CDs; and the overall sound is considerably poorer than the old dbx. This makes me wonder if a mid-fi CDP upgrade (~$500) will be a real improvement.

The answer is: YES. Digital has immensly improved since 1986. You can get a quality DAC (esp used) for around $500 that will make your jaw drop. It has been a while since I shopped in that price range, but I am positive you can get a piece of gear that will do wonders for your 2 channel, esp compared to a Sony DVD player.
