Class D is just Dandy!
Well I bought a NAD D3020V2 and have to say pretty darn impressed for the money.Great features include a built in MM phono stage, an additional analog input,a toslink input and a spdif input. Another nice touch is a subwoofer output. Add all that ... 
Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo
Still hard to beat my old Sony PS3 used as transport into nad d3020 v2.All PS3 were vastly over engineered and cost Sony a lot of dollars! 
Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive
I have been using a Bluesound vault2 for near 2 years, mainly streaming tidal.I very quickly figured out its weak spot was its built in DAC.I output via spdif to a Brooklyn dac and I have no desire to look further.On 24/96 and 192 files it is simp... 
Anthem or Emotiva
Maybe look at a NuForce AVP18.I run one into a NuForce class d 8 channel amp for ht duties.This replaced an all Emotiva setup and literally blew the doors right off it.You can pick them up for around $500.Just a thought.

Anybody know anything about the Marantz SD400 cassette deck? 2 speed?
Found a few threads on 2 speed cassette at Tapeheads.Only the Nak had half speed,the rest by Marantz, Teac, Tascam, BIC. Etc all had the double speed option.By all accounts it did improve sq a fair bit,not sure what stopped it catching on apart fr...

Anybody know anything about the Marantz SD400 cassette deck? 2 speed?
The Marantz is different then as its has double speed for higher sq I assume not half speed. 
Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo
I think any of the 90,s Japanese CD players that had a digital output would do the job if all you want is the transport side.I know my 2000 Pioneer does sound real sweet as just a transport into my Brooklyn DAC but I stick to analog output from it... 
Anybody know anything about the Marantz SD400 cassette deck? 2 speed?
LOLI have three Nakamichi decksJust was very curious as to this particular machine and/or the very principle of 2 speed cassette decks as a new one on me. 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
@tomcarr I agree it has to be priced right to even stand a chance but there are levels to which you can go.If for example a 4 month old unit of a very popular and current item costing 4300 cannot fetch even any offers when priced at 2995 then ther...
