What to replace a Rotel RCD 971 with


Hey - Folks tend to around and around on this but I need to replace my Rotel RCD 971 and I have a large collection of HDCD's most especially Greatful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band. Consequently HDCD is something I don't want to just brush off. With $1500.00 what would you do?

The Emotiva ERC-2 facinates. Their whole business model does. One of the limitations I face is lack ability to demo what I want to hear without traveling hours.So that's on the list and I'm contemplating some non HDCD options from on-line retailers with 30 day back otions, specifically Creek Evolution-2 and CA 651C & 851C.I can I've got a Naim dealer that would make a reasonable day trip. CD5i has a bug in my ear.

Rest of system is CA 651A, Totem Staff, running Transparent MusicLink Plus and MusicWave Plus for cables. TT TBD
