You would have to spend more but unless your player is top notch you might be better of getting 1) a pre with tubes.Less ultimate clarity but way better delivery than most CD's op-amp's that control volume.More control,dynamics and bass,or 2)or get more clarity with modded CD player like Modwright.Any other move will be 3 times the price at minimum yes but better sound.Just a thought.
