Need recommendation for new CD/SACD player
I have owned several upscale CD/SACD players. They all had problems, and all had inferior CD playback. I think the Oppo and a DAC is probably your best bet. Check out PS Audio DAC 3 moded by Cullen Circuits

What's your budget? PS Audio Transcedent Silver is outstanding- warm, full bodied, fast and extended 
Is it really the system?
Most people do not have a goal. How can you, unless you have a comprhensive knowledge of what to do and when to do it? Here's a secret, most gear is pretty damn good. The problems arise from room accoustics, quality of electricity, vibration contr...
