Try and check out classe cdp .3 and .5 (older version). The .5 has better review. Both has hdcd decode and balance out. Good luck.
$600 cd player with balanced output
I just purchased a parasound halo amp and pre amp. I would like to utilize the balanced inputs, but my cd player is a musical fidelity A3. The only outputs are single ended. Does anyone know of a 600 dollar cd player with balanced outputs that can compete with the A3? Thanks.
