Thank you all for your advice and comments on this. I just pulled the trigger on Blue sound Vault 2i ripper/streamer combo. I'm excited and ready to get this up and running into my system.
CD and Network Streamers
I've ben out of the audio hobby for some time and just now getting back in.
System - Bryston 4B ST amp, ARC LS 25 MkII preamp, Aerial Model 8 speakers.
I likely need a decent CD player but these streaming pieces sounds really interesting. The 3 to 5K price is honestly more than I'm willing to spend though as I won't lister to the system more than occasionally. Does anyone know:
1. A decent CD/ Streamer combo for $1,500 or less
2. A $1,000 Streamer seperate they'd recommend
Thanks!
