Time For a CD Player Upgrade
If I were you I would get a CDT/DAC combo such as CEC TL5 CDT (directly from Japan)/Gustard A26 or SMSL SUX DAC(directly from China) for less than $2000, instead of spending that much to upgrade your CDP... the S.Q. is far better than any CDP and ... 
Six DAC Comparison

Six DAC Comparison
What’s the problem with naming the USA DAC that presumably was in your system and cost 10 times the cost and underperformed the SMSL?/// Because I know the person who owns the company and don't want to hurt his business. ///Also, you made the ge...

"""Curious do you have the SMSL and/or Gustard in your system? Also, which specific 10X more expensive DACs have you had in your system; and in what respects the 2 aforementioned outperformed each of the 10X more expensive ones?""" Yes I had the ...

Need suggestions on preamp
A good preamp has to be very transparent and ultra linear Y=aX (a: the gain factor) to benefit. Added your normal preamp is a step sideways and evern down from running the DAC direct (if the unit has a volume control) you many want to invest in a ... 
Can you think of a reason not to?
>>>Once the P5 is sold>>> first things first then shop for a nice 2-channel amp it's the way to go

Six DAC Comparison
Must include the SMSL SUX and Gustard A26... these $1000 Chinese made DACs totally outperform 10X more expensive DACs made in USA or UK.  
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
The CEC TL5 is the way to go... amazing sonic/built quality. You can buy one under $1000 shipped to your home (directly from Japan). Jays Audio CDPs and CDTs are stupidly overpriced Chinese audio products. Don't buy. (i love $1000 SMSL SUX and G...
