What about cheap DVD player (I use $69 Sony) and Benchmark DAC1. It makes you independent from the transport (easy to change) and allows to connect computer. Benchmark DAC1 is very hard to beat in this price range. DVD players have great tracking.
'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575
Hello
I've got a CJ SD22, and a Adcom GCD575, and am thinking about what I would get/hear for under $1000. There is a CA 840c local, for 800 (maybe) and I see a Mccormack UDP-1 also for about that $.
However, there are a LOT of brands out there, some I've never heard of.
I don't think I'd mind the 'black'/no noise of the 840c I read about...and I prefer the cdp to not color the music. I listen to a lot of stuff but prefer clarity above all.
TIA
