2 for 1 or the PS Audio upgrade route?
Current owner of the PS Audio DMP and Directstream MK1. An upgrade is in order. Would like to go to a single box yet am having difficulty selecting a unit that will be serviceable in the future and Superior in sound. In consideration is an Accuphase DP-720 or 750. Accuphase is of course “affordable” everywhere But the USA. Also in consideration is a Marantz SA-10. Both of these units appear to be winners. But the PS Audio gear is solid and an easy upgrade path. What is the consensus here? Switch to a single box, which would be just Super or go the PS Audio upgrade route. No complaints on the PS Audio sound, it is simply time for the New Thing.

Thanks everyone for the responses. This situation took an odd turn as a Sonic Frontiers unit with PCX upgrades performed in 2103 and 2020 became available. So, without hesitation, I purchased the updated SFCD-1. It is a super good unit. The only downside to this unit is recordings that are awful, stay awful. It does not sugar coat lackluster recordings to make them listenable. Along the way another CD player became available. An American Audio Labs P-11. This is a modified Magnavox CDB-560. After some TLC, the unit is up and running. This P-11 is also an incredible sounding unit. So, for now, it looks like I’m standing pat with the units at my disposal. They may not be the best of the best or the latest and the greatest yet, to me, the law of diminishing returns has unequivocally kicked in. Perhaps in the future a mega dollar unit will be pursued. However, for now, the lower dollar units are here to stay. |
