I'm thinking of upgrading my CD player very soon - my current player is a worthy but past-it Marantz CD63SE. I currently have a new Rotel RA04SE amp and Monitor Audio BX2s, both of which I'm very impressed with.
I'm *very* tempted by the Audiolab 8200CD, both by the rave reviews and the DAC feature. Would this work with my current system? As a classical musician, I mainly listen to big orchestral works, organ/choral music and opera, and I'm looking for a player that delivers a huge amount of detail and precision plus a lot of warmth and colour. A DAC would be very useful but not absolutely essential.
A few reviewers have reported a few problems with the Audiolab reading CDs, which does concern me. Any more info or advice gratefully received, along with possible alternatives to the Audiolab if it wouldn't work.
Thanks for your help!
