I vote for using a DAC instead. I have been comparing CDPs and DACs over the past several weeks and I was auditioining the newer models. The Electrocompaniet DAC sounded clearer, more detailed and thru a wider soundstage than the Mephisto II.X. The Chord DAC was even better. The Audio Logic DAC is also very good if you want to playwith tubes. I have the Sony SCD-777ES with Talon speakers. The Sony with the Talons sounded very harsh and bright that is why I did the auditions. The DACs made a huge difference. Email me if you want to chat.

Happy Listening.
