Recommendations for used CD player

thank you.

Yes, I'm using the receiver's DAC.

Thanks!

Hi All,

Thanks for all the input and advice.  I just realized my Yamaha blu-ray player only has HDMI out, so I'll buy a CD player/transport and an external DAC. 

For the DAC, I'm leaning towards the PS Audio Digital Link III that is for sale here for $299.00.  It gets great reviews and I like the price point.  I can also use it for my itunes library remotely located in a PC but wired to the system.

I am receiving a pair of B&W 801 Series 2 speakers today and am very excited.  Although they probably won't offer too many differences than my 802 Series 2, it has motivated me to consider source upgrades.

I love music and high quality audio, but am and always have been on a very limited budget.  I am buying equipment that I lusted for back in high school and college.  My dream amp was always a  big Threshold- last year I purchased a mint S500/II and it changed everything.

I know my listening environment's room size, low ceiling height , and wall to wall carpeting limits how good the sound can get, but I will try some modest upgrades.

I have decided to keep using my Yamaha DVD player as my CD player since I'm back to using the 802's.  Frankly, they sound wonderful together- there is no need to try to warm things up.

After lots of listening and speaker positioning, I have decided to go back to my 802 Series 2 and I no longer feel the need to try to change my system to change my speakers' sound. 

They just sound more balanced and natural.  Also, they just aren't nearly as revealing as the 801s.  Which to me, is a good thing.  I enjoy all my music much more with the 802s.  Music ripped into itunes nearly 10 years ago running through an inexpensive Audioengine DAC sounds wonderful.  The 801s let you know the source can be better.

Mmmm, that's good to know.  Now I get to buy more gear!
