Get off an extra $200 bucks and get a Sony XA777ES. Blows all of that stuff out of the water. Plus you get Sacd. The xa777es is as good as 99% of the red book players out there on red book and is as good as a top of the line TT on Sacd discs.
Mid to High end CD player vs. universal plus DAC
Hi,
I am considering upgrading my old Sony CD player, and am seeking input regarding whether to purchase a player such as an Arcam 82-92T, upgraded Jolida JD-100, etc... or purchase a lower quality "universal" such as a Sony 900V, Pioneer 45A, etc.. and use a DAC with it. I am trying to stay under $1500, and do not own a DVD player. My present system is 2 channel only, and do not have any burning desire to go multichannel.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
