Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?


I want to upgrade my digital side … (currently Bluesound Vault 2i feeding the DAC of Oppo 105) … plan to spend around $2k … since I’ve ripped all my CDs to the Vault, thinking of spending it all on a DAC, and retire/sell the Oppo while it still has some value. I do have a few older CDPs I could retain as backup, but not sure why I would ever need.

Alternatively, was considering a better combined CDP/DAC like a newer Marantz or Yamaha … upgrades DAC performance some, and a reliable spinner for quite a few more years … but I have very few SACDs, so feeling like this would be the tail wagging the dog.

In what direction have you been migrating?

Right now I’m streaming Bandcamp off my iPhone 📱 into a Zen iFi Bluetooth receiver into an Odyssey Etesian pre > Odyssey Khartago > QUAD 21 L. It sounds great. My Marantz HD-CD1 is a fantastic CDP for the thousand or so CDs I have. My 5500 LP library gets played the most. I ❤️ media. Peace
