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?

I'm perfectly happy with my Mojo Audio DAC and SimAudio CD transport, they aren’t going anywhere. My head spins every time I read about what folks go through to get top notch streaming sq, from segregating certain equipment in a different room, to multiple components and cables in between before you eventually get to the DAC. Glad that "the process" works for them, it’s just not for me. The one downside for me to not streaming is that there are some artists that only provide there music via a service.

Okay according to you I'm misinformed; you never respond to a thread without hawking something you sell
