I have had what I think is a wonderful cd player, Simaudio Moon Supernova, for several years and enjoy it, but have been using it as a dac only to stream Tidal via a pc. I have forgotten about cds. Tidal offers 40 million tracks at redbook quality and are beginning to stream their "masters" which are at a higher resolution. Like gdnrbob, I have not looked back. I still pop in a cd occasionally just to confirm how good the streaming is. Maybe a cdp with a digital input would offer you the best of both worlds. Good luck.
Looking for CD player recommendations that are a great match with Classe & Vandersteen
Looking for some recommendations for CD players that will mate well with the sound characteristics of a Classe CAP-101 integrated amp and Vandersteen 2C speakers? Cabling is DH Labs Q-10 and Air Matrix. I listen to all kinds of music... pop, rock, classical, ambient/electronic. But, mostly rock and prog rock. My budget is max $600, but I’d like to stay somewhat under that if at all possible. I don’t need a lot of features. In fact, the basics are fine--so long as it has a remote. CD is my primary source (and I love it :)
