it is very easy to achieve high resolution. manufacturers are falling all over themselves to provide more and more resolution. almost any player above $2000 will suffice. just go to a dealer and listen. esoteric stuff isn't bad, also denon players and muse.
Recommendations for CDP for High Resolution Only
Apologies for yet another SACD recommendation thread.
I am late to the SACD game and already have built a very satisfying PC based digital front end. That said, I am intrigued by what I am missing in high resolution digital. My speakers are high efficiency horns; my amp and pre are tube. I listen primarily to jazz and classic rock on vinyl, and I would continue listening to redbook through my PC based setup.
Any recommendations on what should be on my short-list for a CDP that would be almost exclusively used for high resolution digital? Seems like Cary 306 SACD and Esoteric SA-60 would be leading contenders, but are there others? I would not want to invest more than $5K.
