there's a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium CD player/DAC w/USB that came up for sell that I'm drooling over.. fits your description perfectly.. i can't afford it right now... maybe you ? then let me know what you think ??
Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives?
Hi all,
I've been looking for a CD player with a little future proofing thrown in (in the way of digital inputs). I have many CDs that I'd like to keep for critical listening sessions, but would like to run a USB or toslink from my imac for access to my digital library for convenience sake.
The Jolida Fusion DAC/transport caught my interested but I can find nothing in the way of information or reviews (save for one). I like the tube idea, but it's not mandatory. I've used a couple of Shanling tubed CD players in the past with good success.
Other player/DACS I've researched but ruled out include the Cambridge Audio Azur 851C, (most seem to agree this is a very analytical sound, and not one I would enjoy), and the Rega Saturn R. The Marantz SA8005 looks good on paper, but again, I've heard it's sound can be a little analytical and sterile.
I'd welcome recommendations for other units in the $2k or less range that can handle optical or USB in.
Thanks!
