FWIW...I too have a few thousand CDs. I ripped all to an SSD drive and use one of my PCs as a media server. I connect an NAD C658 through wifi and play everything through my Rogue M-180s and Focal Kanta 2s. I also use the NAD as a preamp until I can find a tube preamp I like. Most likely a Rogue RP-7. I sold off the 3 CD players I had.I never got on board the SACD train. I counter that with buying hi-res flac files from either of a few sites and so far am quite happy.
CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations?
Current setup:
Rega Apollo CDP
BlueSound Node 2i
Rega P6 TT (upgrading to P8 after 1st of 2022, when I can hopefully find a new one)
Rogers High Fidelity KWM88 Integrated
Tekton Moab
Looking for advice on a CD upgrade. Budget around $5000. Want new equipment. Is it better to look at a separate transport/dac or a cdp in that price range? What are your recomendations?
Have around 3000 cd’s dating back to the mid 80’s when cd’s first came out. Have SACD’s as well as burned cdr’s. Need to play everything.
The Audiogon members are always the most helpful and I appreciate your time/thoughts.
Thanks
