Go with separate transport and dac. Check out the Wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said it was every bid as analog sounding and I have the dac as well and I totally agree, it's not cheap it's $4,500 US but it beat up on a lot more expensive dacs from Cos, Mytek,Chord,SimAudio.
CDP or DAC?
I want to get back to playing and enjoying my 500+ cd's! Been listening 95% of the time to a nice high end turntable $15k+ setup but would also like to have the option of listening to my cd collection to where it sounds at least competitive with my vinyl enjoyment.
I have no interest in streaming just playing cd's. Does it make more sense to go with a cdp or transport and separate dac?
Budget $5 - $15k. Thoughts
