I have a cd 92,my opinion,it is not fatiguing what so ever,say at 7 bills or so a steal used.Dont even bother with lower Arcam,i had a cd 72 I thought it would sound better,or assumed it would partly due to the Arcam name,I am surprised it sells at all.The ring dac is outstanding,and I heard as is usually the case a money issue and that is why they dont do it anymore.otherwise buy a Cambridge same dac,s as Arcam,Wolfson,Hey what a concept a decision based on money versus quality.Higher up Arcam I think would be good but do you want to spend that much.You dont see many cd 92 s for sale but if you do grab it.
Arcam decision
I really need to upgrade my cd player. I have the choice of several Arcam models. One is the CD73@ $700, another is a used cd93 @ $1200 and the last and most costly is the cd192 @$1600. I am stepping up from an older pioneer elite from 1996 so I know all will be a major improvement. I have a rotel amp and B&K pre w/ Snell type D's. I defer to those in the know for assistance with this decision. Thanks.
