If your whole system costs $40,000....


how much will you invest in CD player with that sum?

I have been wondering my CD section is the weakest link, its around 10% of my system cost. I wonder people who are using some $10k players how much their whole system costs roughly...... Anyone can share their experience in upgrading their CD players?

In each of my systems the CDP/digital costs what the speakers cost. In both cases it is about 25%. Those numbers are pure coincidence and have little meaning as I listen to digital very rarely in those systems.

In the other two 'systems' where I listen to the most digital, the numbers are 80% and 2% and those ratios are both explicit and deliberate. I spent $100 on headphones to go with my iPhone, which I use as an iPod. The other is the $100 car stereo I recently bought to replace the one which died in my 10-year-old car (which is worth $5k on a good day).

I am thinking of buying a digital-only system for use in a tight space. In that case, given the headphones and amp and server I am considering, it will be about 60%.

Hope this helps.
