A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC?


Is there such an animal? I mean… why buy high quality and then have to thread it into my Bluesound Node DAC?

Sony XA7ES, twenty five year old CD players still in use today! Former Stereophile A player that sold for $3k is still going strong with the greatest sound. And no flimsy Phillips based drive system, but Sony’s proprietary drawer featuring the best system ever created. They’re still selling for $1500, if you can find one! I owned two of them, and they featured XLR, co-ax, rca, and an amazing direct volume control allowing you to go without a preamp.

What? Old school audio, that’s where it’s at.
