The Sony 777ES is supposedly a real gem if you can get one, and the SCD-1 even more so, even for regular CDs. Also check out Musical Fidelity A3CD (new), Arcam Alpha 9 (new), or a Meridian 506 (used). I own a Meridian 508.24, and can vouch for the brand, however, I would like to get my hands on a Sony SCD-1. Good luck.
Help Need to improve front end . . .
Hello.
I'm looking to upgrade my front-end as it's clearly the weakest link in my system. I could really use some help.
I'm willing to spend up to $1,500 (slightly more if there's a compelling reason to do so). I want to stay with well-established companies and products. Obviously, my goal here is to get the most bang for my buck. Looking for comments about my current considerations as well as any additional suggestions.
Current considerations:
MSB Link DAC III Full Nelson w/ P100 Power Base
Sony SCD 777ES
Cary CD303
Thanks in advance.

Pre-Amp: AES (Cary) AE-3 DJH
Interconnect: Home Grown Audio Silver Lace
