Upgrade Question


So, I’m a dyed-in-the-wool, old school, CD guy. Not interested in vinyl or streaming. I have currently a Musical Fidelity 3D CD player that I bought new in 2003. I love the sound of it, but realize that technological advancements in the medium may warrant an upgrade in players, amd the unit may be getting old in the tooth. I’m looking for a one box solution. In addition to the MF, my system consists of a BAT 225se power amp, BAT VK-3i preamp, and Joseph Audio Pulsars (v1). Your recommendations would be most appreciated. Thanks.

The OP said he "loves" the sound of his CDP. It uses a Delta Sigma DAC. Hence my suggestion. What continues to gripe me is how the hell does anyone know what I have tried? Yeah I've heard these NOS R2R distortion generators. 
After looking up the specs on your CD player I wouldn't worry to much about being left behind it looks as if Musical Fidelity looked ahead. I would wager the DAC performs better than some of the ones mentioned here. If you like the sound you're getting now stick with Delta Sigma DACs and avoid these 2R2 contraptions.
