@abstract; IMO your Plinius 9200 is a very nice integrated unit that you should keep, built like a tank and can drive any speaker. If you want to save space purchase a CDP (transport and DAC in one unit), there are many really good ones available new or used. There is nothing wrong with the Moon 260D although I have not researched the DAC that it has and possibly a different Transport and separate DAC would sound better, however not necessary.
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!
