Best sounding CD player

X vs U minimal difference 

The problem I have with streaming is the monthly cost for subscription to receive high end quality material. Cd playback can be very good with a great cdp. Unl Ss someone has information on a good streaming service with high quality material that’s free?

which brings me to the use of a high end FM receiver like magnum dynalabs to receive over the air radio stations. Not sure what the quality of that sound would be I presume no where near good streaming 

Okay when put that way, it makes sense. I do own a bluesound 2i streamer connected to my Cary 302/600 cdp and would like to improve my dac sound quality. I loved the AMR cd77.1 when I owned a decade ago and have been trying to achieve that sound quality since. Any recommendations without spending an arm and leg?

What about the younger brother to the dx10, d06U

Audio research c8 cdp, what do people think of this player 

I currently own a Cary 302/600 and would like to better the sound while maintaining the ability to use as a dac fir streaming. 
 

i curios on luxman d06U, d03x models call it new vs old. 

I stumbled upon a review for Audiobyte Hydravox and associated power supply. The one review was long and very detailed. It made the dac sound better than sliced bread. 
does anyone in the community have first hand experience with this dac and it’s sound?

You make a good point. 
 

the only thing that counts is how it sounds to you. We are all different with different likes and dislikes, regardless of cost if it sounds good then it’s good.
