Thanks to all for your input. My thoughts came to mind in remembering former CD players that I have owned that did not use op-amps and sounded better than op-amp based players.
CD player, audio out, discrete vs. op-amps..?
I am looking to buy a good used single cd player. Either redbook only or redbook and SACD.
I have not liked the sound of players using op-amps for the audio output stage. Am I wrong that discrete components in the output stage are better than op-amps, or are there exceptions to that thought?
Thanks
