You might consider buying an Oppo and having someone like Ric Schultz at Electonic Visionary Systems modify it for even better sound and video. Lots of positive comments. Best of luck.
Universal player or DAC?
Hi,
I have a 2003-era Music Hall CD25. It has digital outputs, so I am considering adding a Schiit Bifrost Uber, or replacing the CDP with an Oppo BDP-103. Will the Oppo make enough of a difference in redbook CD playback, or is a dedicated DAC such as Schiit or a used Benchmark a better option? Of course, there is the added bonus of video and SACD playback with the Oppo.
I have a large collection of CDs and vinyl, and I don't plan on doing a music server thing just yet. Give me inconvenience or give me death!
Thanks,
paul
