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.

Matt,

Now that you are getting married it's time to start thinking about children and pleasing your wife. My advice is to sell all your gear and buy your wife a 7 series BMW with the funds... On second thought... put her to work and purchase the new Anthem D1 to improve the HT in that house of yours... Nice Rack! Jake
