Simply a question/thought I would enjoy hearing others experiences. A CD player that I owned quite some time back was a high end Classe CD only player using the Ultra Analog DAC. I have owned most of the better multi format players since then and just from my time spent listening and attention to the music they seem to not hold my interest as the old Classe did.
What experience(s) can you share on your thoughts of a dedicated Redbook player vs. a multi-format player.
With the world of streaming out there, I'd encourage you to go with an external DAC, perhaps with a built-in streamer, that also plays your CD's well.
I will say that if you have been listening to vintage gear, come up to a DAC built in the last 10 years. They may not all be to your liking, but overall they improvement in Redbook (44/16) playback compared to previous age is striking.
