CD Player or DAC


I have a Bel Canto Evo 2i integrated amp and JM Lab Chorus speakers. I have about $1,500 to spend on a source and need some help. Bel Canto of course suggests that I go with a DAC 2 while others have recommended I buy a warmer sounding source to go with the Chorus speakers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you currently have a transport?

If not I would go with the Jolida JD100 if you are looking for warmth. If you insist on spending up to the $1,500, get it modded.

If you want detail go for a used Cary 303/200 (which I've seen for $1,500. They are very reasonable now that the 303/300 is out.
