Looks like you don’t need more recommendations, but . . as I posted elsewhere, I just bought the Audiolab 6000cdt and am playing it through an inexpensive dac, the Pro-Jett DAC Box S2+. They replace a 27 year old Pioneer CD changer, which still works fine but who knows for how long.
I debated about replacing the Pioneer, as I have a Bluesound Vault 2i and rip CD’s to that for playback. I was using the Pioneer less. But, I decided that I wanted to keep the CD option and the Audiolab (as well as Cambridge unit) is well-regarded and should hold up.
The sound of this new combination is definitely better than the Pioneer. So, I am pleased.
