I had a Bel Canto DAC2 that was very smooth sounding with very good bass. Or if you want a 1-box player then the Sony CDP-XA7ES. I recently listened to this Sony player and was really impressed how smooth it sounded(plus built like a tank). You should be able to get these well under 1k and this should be a pretty nice improvement over your Onkyo.
What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm?
My current 2-channel system: Classe CAP-151 Integrated, Thiel 1.6, MIT AVT-2 cables, Onkyo CD player.
I want to upgrade the Onkyo. For under $1000, what would you recommend to add more warmth? The Thiels are very detailed, and I would like to "pour some cream" over what feeds them. I listen mostly to jazz at low to medium volume in a moderate sized room. Thanks for your input.
