How old is too old?

I was unaware of the caffiene syndrome. At 68 years young, it's serious.

I have owned the Marantz SA 10 sacd player for 6 months. And I really believe it is the best sound I have ever heard. But I will not recommend it as (1, I am not qualified. (2, I can only compare it with cd players. (3, I will let you know in 10 years. 

Keep posting. Since joining recently, I've learned so much.  THANKS.

IAN.

 What's up with this? 🤔

I've got the MCD600 CD/SACD player. Has a built-in preamp. I go directly out to the amps.  Sounds better than when I used my external preamp.

Best sounding player I've heard or owned.

Buy new. One time purchase. Done.

I agree with @ghdprentice , my decent CD player (Sony 5400ES) doesn’t compare with streaming Quboz from my Aurender N200 and Schiit Yggdrasil. I never play CD’s anymore. The sound quality is better than from my turntable as well. Here’s another old guy that enjoys streaming immensely!

Gotta have a streamer in your stable. I do like having a cd player. Number one reason is you can fire it up within seconds and be listening to a cd you already have in there and get on to whatever you were doing. SACD the better but you do not have to be listening to the best sound possible at all times. Music is enjoyable in any format. Two, it’s physical and the art work can be pleasing to the eyes which even holds more true with vinyl.  I’m 90% streaming
