What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
A friend copied to disc and sent me the new PS Audio mix of artists they recorded. I didn’t find much there enjoyable, and IMHO, mostly odd choices to kick off their recording studio. Neither did I find the recording quality anything special. M... 
SACD/CD player update
I have a Oppo 105 that I bought to play SACDs. I replaced the OEM power supply with an aftermarket LPS, + other sonically significant silver wiring upgrades. Considerably better than stock, it is connected to my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (internal dac) ... 
What was the most impactful addition to your system?
LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp MSRP $3000  
CD player
+1 for the CDT 6000. Blows away any cd player at 2-3Xs the price that I've owned (currently an Oppo 105 with aftermarket LPS module + other upgrades), but as you said it requires a dac. My CDT is connected to an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, using a...

Providing your budget would help. So, not having a clue regarding your budget, CorePower Deep Core  
Recommendation for Digital Coax
Either Pangea Premier XL or DHLabs both specs appear identical. 1.5m ~ $170  
Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade
Technics SU-R 1000 would be on my shortest list. Gorgeous looks, + modern GaN technology. I have owned a LSA 350 GaN amp for over a year, and love it, love it, love it. If the recording is warm you'll hear it in its glory. If the recording is not,... 
ATMA-SPHERE MA-1 MK11.3 with magnepans, am I completely mad?!
WOW, if that works out, I'll bet you'll have a killer system. Would love to hear it  
Power Distribution
I, too, have a 20 amp dedicated line, BUT, huge gains are made with my Core Power 1800 PLC

+1 for the LSA Voyager GaN 350. It is very chameleon like. Lovely oldies like Ella and Louie, Leonard Cohen sound full bodied rich and in the room. Lessor recordings sound, well, Lessor. Great value MSRP $3000, a veritable bargain compared to man...
