Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

[Guthrak]

You didn't mention getting a CD player, unless I missed that somehow.

I didn't, but I started looking at it over the weekend since I have some cd's of my late father I would like to be able to play maybe. It's not a priority atm, just looking at long term additions.

EDIT: it's also not really my preffered medium for music. I like vinyl for the big covers, the potential dynamic range and the 'manual laber' it requires to play the music. It adds to an active listening session for me, like a ritual. For all the rest there's digital or streaming so I don't know if I'd actually want one.

I see.
The Musical Fidelity M3 scd is available slightly cheaper at £799 but you don't necessarily need a matching CD player to play a few CDs.
