Currently running the Denon 1520 CD player as transport and cheap DAC.With the price of upgrading both wouldn't I be better off getting a newer player used or new with much better Dac at under a grand or look for separates?
Redbook CD's a few sacd but it must be able to play CDR's as I record records off my Alesis masterlink also.My Denon sounds good with recorded LP's from Alesis but commerical redbook CD's not so much.
Thank you for all your input.I'm leaning toward an Oppo.My Denon 1520 is well built and reliable.I wish I could A-B it with other DAC's and an Oppo and the other's mentioned here.
Thank you Knownothing for your reviews of those above.Oppo appears to be the clear choice for me from what you describe.It's incredibly difficult to hear a piece of gear one wants.I wanted to hear the new Bryston 4B3,called authorized dealer,sorry we don't stock any but can order one.I ended up buying a used one after reading many actual owners posts and input.
