You know what sounds amazing? The resolution audio quantum dac ($3200) with a reference line preeminence 1 series 2 passive preamp ($1500). Much better setup. My passive control is waaaaay better than the stuff they throw in the CD-55's.
Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads...
I have read past threads about the Resolution cd players and enjoyed them a great deal.....both the audio/sound input that people had to share...and the emotional outbursts! Not meaning to fan the flames....but,.. I have owned many cd players, transports, dacs and digital interconnect cables over the last few years (including ML-39, Sony Xa-7ES, Classe CDP-1, ARC CD-2, cd transpords and dvd transports feeding various dacs..inc Bel Canto...and the list goes on), and in the end result, the CD-55 is as special as people say it is.
