I had a GNSC modified Opus 21 and upgraded to the Cantata and have never looked back. I was originally going to add the RA ExtraSource unit, but one listen to the Cantata made the decision easy. The only player I have heard that is better is a Wadia S7i for close to 4x the price. Other players have the resolution but not the musicality that the Cantata has.
Replacement for RA Opus 21 CDP
Having upgraded by speakers last year I’d like to upgrade from my Resolution Audio OPUS 21 CDP to a better CDP (ideally with a few DAC inputs). I really like the Opus 21 but know there is better out there. I am strongly considering the Cantata but have often read about Wadia, Ayon etc. About $8K would be my upper limit. Geographically I am not in a position to compare these, or other, units myself so having a small list will give me something easier to work through.
Thanks
