Description

I am close...I just want to get a good cd player but can't decide if I should buy a high end DAC with a changer or go with a good single disc unit. HDCD is a must. Opinions and advise are always welcome.

Once that's done, new speakers are in order, and then way in the future a better amp. A reciever to get back into HT is near, but in all honesty, who cares? Ht is like bubble gum; good for a few minutes, then bland.

With that Sonic Frontiers preamp and the Anthem, a Classe cdp would work out nicely. I have a cdp3 with Sonic Frontiers sfs 80 amp and ARC preamp...The classe sounded so much better when I moved it from my solid state system to the Tube setup. It does have hdcd and dual burr brown dacs.. a nice piece for the money... The nad s500 is a great piece with that gear as well.. but very tough to find..
Good luck,
Joe
