Hi everyone,
My streamer is out for warranty so I am now looking for a CD player. I'd like to ask for your opinions on what to get. Cambridge, Denon & NAD have players around 15-20k. The entry level Marantz and Rotel CD players are at 20-25k. The Rega Apollo is 40+K. The Emotiva ERC 4 is almost 40k but has balanced outs (no use for me) and a digital inputs (will become redundant once my streamer gets back).
For those of you who still uses CD players, do the expensive players make a big difference? Lets say the Rega Apollo is half the price of the Saturn but uses the DAC chip. All the brands have entry level players and higher end ones which cost double to triple.
What would your suggestions be?
thank you!
