Try a Mark Levinson 390S. I just purchased one and am quite pleased. I also heard the Wadia 301 (now in its 302 version) and that is a great sounding player also. They both can run amps direct.
suggestions for top quality CDP running direct
I am currently using a ARC CDT-1 transport, ARC DAC III mkII, and an ARC REF II mk I, Pass X-350 and Sonus Faber Amati speakers and am very interested in the possibility of buying a really good CD player and running direct. I have never done this and quite honestly would really appreciate some suggestions. I forgot to mention that my cabling is Purist Venustas. Thank you for all your help.
