The Resolution Audio Opus 21 has a small footprint, though it has two chassis that you would have to stack. I've seen it for $2k used. Plenty of reviews.

Thanks all. I'm out of rack space so size matters. Oppo is not a small footprint, it's just thinner and ridiculously lightweight. I'm currently using an Oppo DV980H, so that covers SACD. For CD, I use the Oppo with a Cambridge DacMagic. The DacMagic improves on the Oppo' cd sound noticably but I want a high quality dedicated CD player. I'm looking for solid state in the 1,500 to 2,000 price range, new or used. |
The 47Labs Shigaraki 4715 is indeed very small (3 x 3.15 x 3.15 inches), but you may have to find place for its separate power unit behind the stand or shelf, then http://www.sakurasystems.com/products/shigadac.html The same goes for the transport btw. To get a better idea of sizes, look up Srajan's review on 6moons, there is a picture with the 4 boxes sitting on one shelf |
i'm interested in this too, potentially. i have limited shelf space. There have been a few musical fidelity x-ray's that have passed through the posted ads. Audio Analogue also makes a small cd player. And Cyrus. Anyone know of good small transports and DACs? I will need to fit transport and DAC on one shelf, prefer not to stack. |
