What are you using as a transport for your CDs now? I continue to use a Benchmark dac1 pre and a Cambridge CD player as a transport. Works well and sounds amazing. Certainly you and I can spend a lot and improve, but we want to keep the cost low. How many SACDs do you have? Why don’t you know if CDs sound better than your streaming Bluenode? I recommend you purchase a transport and listen to your Benchmark dac for a while and then decide whether to upgrade to a newer dac. I primarily play vinyl.
Best Way to Upgrade Digital
I have over 3K CD's and I am building a new system & not sure what is the best way to set up my digital. Should I get A DAC & CD Ripper or a CD/SACD? I'm leaning towards a CD Ripper with a DAC, given the number of CD's I have it will make it easier to play them & store tehm. I have an old Benchmark DAC1, should I use this with a ripper? Or get a new DAC? Do I need to update my Benchmark DAC? Or should I just get a CD/SACD? Trying to keep cost under $1,200 if possible. Technology is changing so rapidly, that I don't want to spend lots of $$ for something that may be absolete or wothless in a couple of years. Any suggestions?? I do own a Blunode Streamer, sounds ok, hoping the CD's will sound better.
