I own a Marantz 65 mkII that I play through an AMC DAC8 and I also own a Rega Planet. My advice would be for you to audition a killer DAC. Although, I have not yet read any reviews on the Planet 2000. Anyone else?
CDP upgrade
I am considering up grading my cd-player. Right now I have a Marantz 67se. I was considering a Rega Planet or an Arcam 7se. On the other hand Iwas considering a DAC like the MSB link III. Anyone have any suggestions? I would like a clear upgrade, but I have limited $$$. By the way, the rest of my system is an Arcam 10 intergrated, Aegis one speakers, MIT T2 speaker cables, Nordost blue Heavean IC. I listen to mostly jazz and pop.
