Likely needs recapped - power supply. Take it to a shop and see what it would cost as it will be a simple affair, mostly will be labor. CDP with a really good DAC with input for other sources is the Cambridge 851C. Great player and will punch way higher with a good power cord and change out both fuses. The DAC in the Cambridge will destroy the one in any Bluesound player... I own both as well.
CD player suggestions under $700
Hello, I'm looking to purchase a new CD player to replace my old Nakamichi that is starting to get a little noisy with an internal hum and would like to get something with a more current DAC. I listen to vinyl and stream most of the time and only play CD's about 10% of my listening time but do think many of my older AAD CD's sound better than streaming with my Bluesound Node 2i.
I'll be pairing the CD Player up with a PS Audio Gain Cell and Vandersteen Treo's.
Does anyone have any experience with the Music Hall c-dac 15.3? I'd also like recommendations for other CD players with onboard DAC's.
Thanks.
