Looking for a CD Player

@richardbrand 

Now you’re trying to draw me into an SACD vs. CD argument. It’s not my fault that SACDs aren’t very popular here, especially with streaming readily available. I’m a senior and do own an SACD player (you can look up my system here), but I haven’t used it in the past seven years. This site is for sharing opinions and suggestions, not dictating to others. Please don’t reply to me; we’re clearly speaking different languages.

I would recommend Marantz Ruby sacd player buy brand new don’t buy used. This player is almost the same as the their SA 10 player costing 7k plus. The only difference the SA10 is balance.

"Now you’re trying to draw me into an SACD vs. CD argument".

Far from it, this is a question the OP posed.  Surely no audiophile can deny the sonic benefits of SACD over CD.

I have looked up your system and I can see no SACD player there.  Of course, you might play SACDs on a CD player, when they revert to being, well, CDs.  If they are about the same price as CDs, what is the disincentive.

Many years ago, the English comedian John Cleese was asked about the differences between the US and Britain.  He said there are three things:

1. We speak English
2. When we have a world series, we invite other countries
3. When we meet our head of state, we only have to go down on one knee

As I mentioned, I am not interested in your assumptions or insinuations. Additionally, it seems you have a reading or comprehension issue. Review my listed equipment, and in the picture, it is on the right side of the lower shelf, beneath the streamer. Our conversation has reached its conclusion.

The only thing you list that comes close is an Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP CDP which as far as I know is a CD player, pure and simple.

When I comment here, I try to explain my reasoning so there can be a sensible debate.

If you are not interested, stop commenting.
