best CD player for you:Reimyo,P8i,AA,Esoteric x01.
Emigene, I would recommend you take a look at a thread I started entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective, that will give alot of the information/opinions that you are asking about. My hunch is that you are looking for what we call a categ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, I believe that some companies do take their time for research/development to improve the pieces already in their lineup or come out with new statement gear, however many believe to stay competitive in the market they must come out with n... 
Great Copper Cables?
Lesvan, I would recommend you audition a pair of Acoustic Zen Matrix reference 11's. They are very "musical/warm" but are still transparent and detailed, and I consider them a bargain at $500.00 retail. It's all personnal taste and system synergy,...

Branimir, I'm glad he got the new generation player, as I said its supposed to be a wonderful sounding player and we both know its wonderfully built. I have no experience with the Accustic Arts power cord you are using, I run Harmonix studio maste...

I thought that all the participants on this thread would find the following information both interesting/informative. On Audio Federation's website, hi Neli and Mike, they have posted on the BLOG section their impressions/evauluations of the new A...

Branimir, I hope very much your friend enjoys his Accustic Arts CDP. Not to throw a "monkey wrench" into his auditioning process, but did he get the first generation CDP or the updated model? The new model is supposed to be a great improvement ove... 
Review: Stealth Audio Cables Varidig Sextet Reference Interconnect
Kana813, to the best of my knowledge neither my DAC or transport are transformer coupled. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Now, onto Unclejeff's question/comment regarding if the Stealth Sextet can really be that much better then the Acoust...

Branimir, I see that you left a nice comment on my review of the Stealth digital Sextet cable. Without raving about it like a madman, its one of the most significant improvements I have ever heard regarding bringing a digital front end towards the...

Thanks, Branimir for the helpful information. Regarding the sound of the Meitner teamed with a CEC transport, only on redbook of course, I have a friend who uses a TL-0 with his Meitner DAC because he believes it offers a more "musical" presentati... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, do you have any information regarding the sonics of the new CEC TL-0x or the TL-2 compared to the first generation TL-0 and TL-1? Also, do you believe the build quality is on the same level compared to the older pieces? I thought I read ... 
Review: Stealth Audio Cables Varidig Sextet Reference Interconnect
Kuzibri, I was having a wonderful conversation with my friend Nelly from Audio federation regarding my auditioning of the Stealth Sextet, when she mentioned that another good friend that lived in Europe, had just e-mailed her a note about the sext... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, I did not compare in my system the Accustic Arts Drive 1 with my Ensemble Dirondo transport. However, the individual I purchased my Accustic Arts DAC-1 MK3 from had both transports to audition the AA DAC-1 MK3 with and found no sonic adv... 
New dac or cd player
Chris, I believe you will get a greater bang for your sonic buck by using your Sony as a transport and getting a DAC. In your budget range see if you could get either a used/demo Benchmark or Bel Canto 2. They are both outstanding, I prefer the Be... 
Audio Note DAC 4.1 vs. EMM Labs on Redbook
Exlibris, I auditioned an Audio Note DAC 4 not 4.1 along with the Meitner on red book and found the Audio Note very musical/organic but it did not have the details, top/bottom extension, and resolution/clarity of the Meitner, which was still very ...

First, thanks to all you GON members for participating on this thread/topic in such an interesting, friendly, and informative way. I wish more threads would have the good "cheer" and "egolessness" of this on-going discussion and information sharin...
