I had a Sony CDP-CA8ES and upgraded to a Cal Labs CLD-10. One of the best upgrades I ever made!! I also upgraded to an EVS Millennium II DAC. It makes music sound REAL!!
Which CD Player /DAC From The Following...
Hey. I'm gonna purchase a used CD player / DAC shortly and would like to hear people's experience with the following players:
CAL Icon mkII
CAL CL-5
Cambridge Audio D500se
Denon 1650AR
I've only heard the Icon player because I know someone who has it and I like it but I don't have the ability to demo any of those players and almost always buy used so I can sell it if I don't like it. I was also considering getting one of the CAL DACs and leaving my Sony CDP-CA9ES as the transport.
System is Rotel Pre, Adcom amp, Thiel 1.5s, MIT cabling.
Whachya think?
Thanks! leo.
