Replace CD player or add DAC?


After adding a CJ MF2250 amp to my system, I suspect the weakest link is now the front end. Currently running a Marantz CD67SE into a MF X10D, Adcom GFP750 preamp and Paradigm Studio 60 speakers. VH Audio pulsars connecting everything.

Would you add a DAC (such as Bel Canto, Benchmark or MF Trivisa) to the Marantz, or just replace the Marantz with a new CD Player, budget is $1500.

Thanks much.

IMHO although dated your CDP really isn't that bad, and there's lots of articles on the 'net on how to modify CD players quite inexpensively. If I were you I'd consider upgrading your preamp, I think you'll hear an immediate improvement.
