Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk..


I am considering a sim audio moon cd transport 260dt to replace my beloved CD player that just died.I have a Plinius 9200 integrated. What do I need to make this combo work? Do I need a DAC?I get that transports are different from players but I just want to make sense of all of this in a simple way. thanks!

+1 on glennewdick comments. I ripped all my CDs onto a HDD and use a streaming device for Tidal and Spotify. That enabled me to keep all my bought music and explore all the new music Spotify and Tidal have to offer. I may even buy a year membership to Roon. I did this with less than $1000. I have my Macbook Pro for a ripping device, bought a Western Digital MyCloud with plenty of storage and use a Bluesound Node 2 for streaming and access. The Vault 2 can do ALL OF THIS, but there are other options. Although I like my two CD players, I don’t trust them as they are older now. Investing in an expensive CD player seems very limiting to me.
The very biggest surprise in my journey is how good MQA albums sound on Tidal! Just an added bonus. I hope? Tidal does not fold and go out of business?!?
