Bel Canto DAC/Rotel 1072 question
I concur w/ the panel- you will need to fix the player 1st.Then, re-eval the player w/ said DAC. It should give you excellent sound for sure. Keep us posted and happy listening! 
Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant?
Joey-I say yes. I like the older DV-50/60 for SACD duty (not to my liking on red-book cd), it is an excellent spinner. Many times a newer model is not always better- there are trade-off(s) for certain. Happy Listening!

$2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105
Bullitt-I would venture to suggest the new Rega Saturn-R or Naim spinners. I like both, but would choose the Naim- very musical for red-book cd only. This player can be bought for $2K or less. I concur on a Sony ES cd player as well.Happy Listening! 
Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp?
