USB DAC or CDP for $200?


Hi All,

Looking to upgrade my digital front end, was thinking of getting the new Dragonfly 1.2 or similar, but was curious whether folks who have made the comparison would recommend the dac or a standalone entry level cep like a marantz or similar. I have a relatively small cd collection, in the 200 range, and prolly half is in my harddrives already, and I have a spare laptop to dedicate to music, so neither of those is really an issue, just value for money. Have at it!

Sorry is 7004, this network player with DAC is excellent, sounding better than my Hegel HD11.
All those little guys dagronfly etc all of them sounds alike and will take you not where.
Buy the marantz at $399.
