@jayctoy Right on. I have had my Marantz SA.-KI Ruby SACD player since very soon after they were available for purchase. Digital accuracy but with a detailed yet musical rightness. In other words no digital glare due to upper midrange lower treble emphasis. Sounds as close to the sonic signature of good vinyl as I have yet heard from any digital source. It mates very well with Cardas Audio interconnects.
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
I've been using a Rega Saturn Mk 2. I recently upgraded my turntable to the Mark Levinson 5105 w/ the Ortofon Quintet Black S. In comparison my CD's are sounding overly bright. Any thoughts on a comparable upgrade to my CD listening? My budget is about $4000-5000, new or used. The Hegel Viking looks interesting. Any recommendation for an upgrade will be appreciated.
