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,

After following this thread for some time, I must say I believe @jrcotner made a great purchase. I own the Cambridge transport and from everything I 'heard' here and elsewhere the Jolida DAC is wonderful at it's price. I believe it would take much over $2K to do better. I play CDs. I stream qobuz via computer to find ones to purchase. Streaming opens up my music world however my 2 systems are dedicated to CD playback for serious listening. |
