A DAC is a good solution if you want a CD changer and have the money. That way you get many more options. For now, I stick with the Sony ES changers and love them. Amazing quality sound for the price and no DAC is really needed. I found the 222ES better than a Denon I auditioned (unfortunately I don't remember the model) and the Denon was a good bit more expensive. So give Sony a try, like the 222 or 555. 333 is only 2 channel and the others are 5 channel. Good luck! Arthur
Looking for a better CD changer
I am coming to the realization that a brightness problem (with accompanying listener fatigue) I've been wrestling with in my system is a source problem. My CD player has been a Denon DCM370 changer, which has been very dependable, but improved speakers and cables are revealing its shortcomings. My amp is an Arcam Alpha 8R integrated.
My personal preference is a CD changer rather than a single player (yes, I understand this is not the "best" source). Like many other audio hobbyists, I don't have a ton of money to spend. Suggestions from anybody on an upgrade would be appreciated.
