Get a cd transport if you like your dac. All the cd player does is read 0's and 1's and feeds that signal to the dac of your choice or the internal dac of the player. Just find the transport or player that has parts for repair for the years to come, running a NAD from the 90's. I've had it for years, best ebay find for me. Cost 150.00. Feeding whatever dac I choose. Good luck on your journey.

Very happy with the Yamaha CD-S 1000. plays SACD. Already own 2 Uber expensive transports and DAC's The Yamaha was an extra CD player for my auxiliary system. Smooth and open sounding. I find myself using this one 90 % of the time. Also would take a look at riley804 recommendation. Great player for the money |
The Denon DCD 1600 is available new for $1200. Build quality is excellent ( made in Japan ) .after about 50 hrs. break in it really sounds sweet. Got one for a friend and he really loves it. Music Direct sells it with a return policy.https://www.musicdirect.com/disc-player/Denon-DCD-1600NE-SACDCD-Player |
It is common knowledge that the Oppo 105 power supply was by far it's weakest link. You can find them anywhere from $700-$900 I upgraded my 105 with parts from eBaye; a ~ $200 Linear Power Module and the IEC with a Furutech Rhodium with a silver tail that connects to either PS, AND a jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch Not only improves red book, but all media hth |
