  If your whole system costs $40,000....
how much will you invest in CD player with that sum?

I have been wondering my CD section is the weakest link, its around 10% of my system cost. I wonder people who are using some $10k players how much their whole system costs roughly...... Anyone can share their experience in upgrading their CD players?

Don't lose faith. There are a lot of members here who are very helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Few can be mean but don't let that deter you.

In my secondary system my CDP and DAC comprised 11% of my total amount paid for my system.

In my primary system my Digital player was 13% of the total amount of money spent on it.

I really didn't plan it that way though. That is just how my system ended up. I was paying more attention to how the music was sounding while keeping in mind what people have said here about component synergy and that even the weakest link in a system can make music sound crappy.

$40,000 to spend on an audio system. Whew. That must be real nice.
