My go to for CDs is a fully loaded Pioneer PD-F1009 300 + 1 unit. This thing is for outdoor listening with adult beverage and a cigar, for parties out by the pool, etc. It runs 1 bit DLC, has no other DAC and well, it feeds a mini-monster 120 w Pioneer and 4 Polk atrium 7s. Get compliments on this all the time. No plans to replace anytime soon!
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?
