I have been using a Denon CD player and have been unsatisfied but recently I bought an Audiolab 6000CDT which I play through my Audiolab 6000 integrated amp. Sound is fantastic and the lack of any noise is wonderful as well. For under $600 the Audiolab cannot be beat.
Advice on CD transport
Here’s the situation:
Am purchasing two channel integrated amp with built in DAC shortly (likely Hegel H390. Love the DAC section). Big CD enthusiast and I’m looking for a great transport under the $1k range (used is more than acceptable). My issue is buying a standalone transport is too rich for my blood so looking for a CD player with awesome transport. I hate paying for the DAC in it I won’t be using but such is being audio poor.
I’ve always liked the Rega line but am wondering what anyone has found/used. If you’ve got any helpful input without getting into DIY, please feel free to chime in.
