I've been reading the other thread with interest. My CDP is playing up intemittently stopping part way through playing disks, some times a lot, sometimes not at all (on the same disks) but really annoying. My options are to pay to get it repaired, buy a new deck or take the opportunity to go for some sort of hard drive storage.
I was thinking of some sort of hard disk storage with all my CDs copied at full resolution, via an internal CD drive, or from my PC via USB memory stick. If I got a good quality DAC (tempted by the MF M1DAC) would I notice any reduction in quality (I particularly like classical and subtle female vocal etc) wiht my existing amp, speakers and interconnects. This would give me the option to buy more CDs and also store downloads via my wifi. It would also be nice to use my TV to show a menu from which to choose my music.
I'm not really interested in moving my PC to the HiFi
What are my options and how much would they cost?
