Sorry, I didn't hear the Genki so I can't compare. I do think you can get a good deal on a used cd player if your careful. If you can get a dealer demo for instance, you'll still get the manufacturers warranty in most cases. With electronics if anything is going to break down, its usually early on.
CD Player for Macintosh / B&W N804
With the help of this forum I decided to get McIntosh MA6500 integrated amplifier for my B&W N804 speakers.
Now I am front of choosing CDP. I know there have been a lot of discussions on CD players and I read them all for the past few days. Still I am not clear, there are many different opinions.
I am looking to spend $1K-1.5K or so, for new or used unit. I'd prefer to have a 5-CDs changer, but there are not that good as I understand. What about if I get a changer and use it as transport and also get a DAC? -- This setup is kinda intimidating for newbie :-)
I am looking at these units, seems they have favorable feedback:
Meridian 507, 508, 588 used
Linn Ikemi used
What do you think abour Linn Classik new?
I'd really appriciate if you share your CDP experience with simular equpiment. I listen mostly classical and rock.
Thanks in advance,
Konstantin
