Looking for a CD Player
I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player. The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age. My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them. Not wanting to purchase streaming music. Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects - Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability?? Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00. All the help would be appreciated.
You don’t need a SACD player or DAC. Instead, consider something currently in production with a strong dealer network. Personally, I recommend the Marantz 50n CD player, priced at $1,800 (the SACD version is $3,000). It’s built like a tank, sounds smooth, and offers many useful features. Do not buy a used CD player. |
Now you’re trying to draw me into an SACD vs. CD argument. It’s not my fault that SACDs aren’t very popular here, especially with streaming readily available. I’m a senior and do own an SACD player (you can look up my system here), but I haven’t used it in the past seven years. This site is for sharing opinions and suggestions, not dictating to others. Please don’t reply to me; we’re clearly speaking different languages. |

Finally, you’ve done what I was asking from the beginning, instead of pushing your ego-driven word-salad. And, just for you, I’ve added a close-up picture of the unit.
