Found/bought an Aleph P before I could find a used Wadia 830, so that's what I'll use with my old Rotel '855 until the 831 or some new-fangled universal player if that's viable relatively soon. Thanks for the help, guys.
Aleph 2 needs CD/pre. "P",Adcom,Wadia?
Just got Aleph 2 monoblocks for Verity Audio Encores. Understand Alephs aren't passively drivable. Should I chase an Aleph P, Adcom GFP750, or other preamp, and limp along with my Rotel RCD855 until the revolution, or get a Wadia 831 in September and kill two birds...? What's a Resolution Audio CD50? Can/should I get one now and forget about preamplification? Thanks...I'm lost.
