Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?


I am 100% invested in vinyl, but want to improve my digital equipment chain.

Once I’ve upgraded my streaming equipment, why purchase a quality CD/SACD transport?

Is there a large enough subset of music that sounds better via optical media?

2nd- those 7" mini-albums on SACD are very sweet indeed!

Thank You for the acknowledgement. The Accuphase DP-65v may be aged, but it is still a Reference CD player. I can only imagine the Aural playback of a newer model with newer technology.  Superb.

Thank You for the kind words. No Streaming allowed in my System. Strictly CD and SACD only.

Another +vote for my Players sounds better than anything Streamed.

Awesome collection of Players. The McCormick UDP-1 is very sweet.

How does it sound with Hard Rock/Metal ?

Thank You for the follow up. I head to Memphis next month for work. In the Summer of 2020 I worked in Memphis -downtown. Of course, the city was on lock-down status. I do not believe that there are any Audio shop(s) ?

I will reach out and touch Colin and Constatine regarding Cabling to complete my system which can be viewed in Virtual Systems here.

Wonderful! Nice area. Does Nashville have an Audio Club?

Besides Gestalt Audio, another other Audio shop(s) worth checking out?

Thank you for the follow up. I will contact Colin.  Great to see that Neodio is represented here in America.  Do you live in the greater Nashville area?

Thank You for the follow up to my query. Is Neodio represented here in the U.S. ?

Foreign distributor?

You are very fortunate to own a Neodio Origine S2 Player.  Very sweet.

Which CD player did you own previously?
