Its really a matter of personal preference these days as there are several one box CD players that hold their own easily against separates. In many cases one box players have an advantage with no need for digital interconnect, lower jitter, and less clutter while still producing outstanding sound. I sold my separates and now use a one box solution from Cary. They call the CD-306/200 a Transport/Processor with 8 24-bit Burr Brown DACs and PMD-200 digital filter. Works great, sounds awesome, and saves equipment rack space!
