If you want great redbook cd playback try any of the Audio Note transports and dacs. Even there entry level stuff uses the same nos dac

Thanks! for sharing Alan, et al.
The Audio Note, Audia Flight and Metronome CD spinners are on my short-list to demo, as well as the newest Parasound CD player.
I really liked the Sony 5400 ES and Esoteric DV-50/60 for SACD duty...so far...
Agreed, I'm getting one and selling my current unit. I've wanted one for some time and finally decided to go for it. I think I'm going 4.1 w/c-cores

I built the 4.1LE a year ago with the triple C-cores, and it sounds very, very nice. I would be interested to hear their 2.1 and 3.1 to see how much of the family sound maintains.
You will love it. I must say I originally used my Sony 5400 as a transport but picked up a used Audio Note transport and it made a significant difference in sound.

I know I will like it and am excited about it. I currently stream but would consider a transport again and will certainly try my current working transport (I have a dead Philips too) I've been eyeballing the Audio Note for a few years and just love what it does and how it does it.
There's a 2.1B assembled for sale in the Asylum Trader now. The 4.1 is 2.5V @13 ohms! Those double C's are so nice too! Saving the $$, will happen perhaps by summer. I don't debt for toys anymore.

I keep looking for an SACD-capable machine that will sound as good as my tubed Raysonic 128 on CDs and have had zero luck -- up until a couple weeks ago -- in finding one. That included stints with your machine (not even close), the Sony XA777ES and the Oppo BDP-83SE.I finally found the Holy Grail (for me) in the Oppo 105, which sounds as good -- no better, but as good -- as the Raysonic. So I've sent the Oppo to ModWright for their tube mod and am hoping for the best, if only because the Raysonic is now an orphan and I'd really rather deal with one machine than two.
