Happy Listening!
New CD Player
Good afternoon,
Quick question. I have a Cary Audio CDP 1 cd player that is about 10-12 years old. Still works and sounds good. Being that is a bit dated, I thought about the new Marantz CD 60 cd player. Any thoughts on how that might compare to the Cary and would it be an upgrade.
Thank you.
jafant, It’s been a fantastic player. I picked it up used in mint condition over 12 years ago. I’ve read a few threads on different sites regarding the replacement of the disc assembly. Unfortunately, Sony no longer manufactures the unit. My DV still works like a champ. As you know, this player is built like a tank. Hope yours is still going strong. |
THYNAME is forgetting something. Yes 1's are 1's and 0's are 0's, but the digital to analog converter, (DAC), analog output stage ,makes a lot of difference in sound quality. A cheap op amp output, compared to an all discrete , class A output stage would not sound as good. Cary makes good stuff. I think the DAC analog output stage in your CDP is of excellent quality, and you would have to spend a considerable sum in order to get something better. |
@mg16 : I am sorry you did not get my sarcasm. Read the entire thread. You will hopefully get it this time |
