Ruminations On CD Players


After multiple factory rebuilds, I'm ready to replace my twenty year old Arcam CD-73 CD player.  I've looked through lists of recommended CD players in the $2000 range, and have noticed that some are all-inclusive while others have separate transports and DACs.  Other than ease of replacement, what are the benefits of having the transport and DAC separate?  Any recommendations on CD players in this price range?  I only have music CDs so don't need anything that can do more than that.

 

Thanks,

I am a big fan of Arcam players as well, especially, the FMJ series. There has never been a better time to update a CD player. Check out AYRE CX-7e or CX-7e MP. Strictly cd playback and fits well within a budget of $2K.

 

Happy Listening!
