CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me


Hi,

I'm hoping for some help in learning more about CD sound quality. I enjoy listening to vocals / jazz / acoustics / classical (ie - Jane Monheit, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, Miles Davis, etc). Keep in mind that I'm not technical nor an audiophile. :)

Having recently improved my listening experience through the help of many members here in the Tech forum, I'm considering upgrading my CD player (Sony CDP-X111ES from about 1991). My other components include: Anthem AVM2, Adcom GFA-5400, KEF C75.

I'll post my questions in the next post -- I think the number of characters in the Question post is limited.

I agree with Hoopster. When you use your player this way, it becomes a transport. I have not been able to determine any differance in CD playback using various transports costing up to $6000. DAC,s are a different story. I have never heard 2 DAC,s sound the same. Even same brand/model.
