McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac?
To my ears the McCormack or Cary will more musical than either the Mac or Levinson. I have heard Mac on several occasions and never cared for their sonic character.

CD player to compete with my vinyl rig?
SummaatoI think HD downloads are going to become more of the norm for digital music. You could then stream it wirelessly to your main music system and go from there. I currently stream radio swiss classic from my computer through an apple airport ... 
CD player to compete with my vinyl rig?
I have a highly modded Sony SCD-1 and while it sounds very good it can not compete with my vinyl set-up (VPI Classic/Benz Wood sl & Herron VTPH-2). I think for a $1000 it is going to be difficult. I would look to the modwright sony or oppo uni...
