I have owned many players and the two that have stood out are the Krell 30i and the CAL CL-10. The 30i versatility of several digital inputs makes it's DAC available for many transports. I also have a Sony SACD 777es which is nice but does sound better when in regular CD mode coming thru the 30i.
Best cd player
Looking to upgrade my cd player. I own a Linn Karik and Numeric dac and would like to know if people are familiar with these and can offer a better sound. Looking to spend less than $8000 and much less.
