I have done comparisons between Esoteric DV-60 CD player, and Tidal, playing through Audirvana. As good as the Esoteric is,it comes up short. In fact,I am thinking about selling .
Big source improvement using CD player
I borrowed a friend's esoteric dv50s CD player. I could not believe the difference between it and streaming Spotify premium. I am now in the market for a CD player. One thing, the esoteric does not play DVD-R. Can anyone recommend a comparable CD player in the used market that does? I'm looking in the $800 - $1500 range.
