New CD Player


Good afternoon,

 

Quick question.  I have a Cary Audio CDP 1 cd player that is about 10-12 years old.  Still works and sounds good.  Being that is a bit dated, I thought about the new Marantz CD 60 cd player.  Any thoughts on how that might compare to the Cary and would it be an upgrade.

Thank you.

THYNAME is forgetting something. Yes 1's are 1's and 0's are 0's, but the digital to analog converter, (DAC), analog output stage ,makes a lot of difference in sound quality. A cheap op amp output, compared to an all discrete , class A output stage would not sound as good. Cary makes good stuff. I think the DAC analog output stage in your CDP is of excellent quality, and you would have to spend a considerable sum in order to get something better.
