Merlin TSMM's with ML 383 + ML 37 or 39????


Ive recently purchased Merlin TSMM's and a Mark Levinson 383 integrated amp.

My budget is exploded already but now I need a CD Player.

Id rather spend about $2000 for a used ML 37 but would I be giving up too much without the DAC incorporated in the ML 39?

Or will I be in great shape with the 383/37 combo?

I agree with the suggestions above: cary or an emc1 both are better than a 39 and the 37 wouldnt even work. Also look into resolution audio and shanling. For the money though a used cary 306/100 seems to be hard to beat especially with some of them going for around 2k these days.
The other suggestion would be the Audio Aero Capitole. I have only heard this unit once and was very impressed (but once is not much of a study--so I'm certainly not an expert on the matter). Others, that are more familiar with it than myself have commented many times here on A-gon with very high praises.
Audio999 - thank you for your advice - I realize now that the 37 wont work but the 39 would.

Any votes out there for the 383 & 39 combination...?

My wife will kill me if the system doesnt look as good as it sounds...
Trey,

ML.383 works perfectly with the ML.39.
ML.383 with ML.39 are really too bright in my ears.
I know that ML owner would like to match their gears,but you will get kill by your wife if you do that !!
