Soix, is spot on. The amount of hi-res music out on Qobuz and other platforms is impressive. Like many other Agon members, I enjoy listening to new artists and music by utilizing Qobuz. It will be interesting to watch how the use of CDs changes over time. With a good streamer, you can already obtain CD quality music. With the advancements in audio/digital technology, we will see continued improvements in the future.
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,
