Hi All
I recently acquired a Benchmark DAC1, which is the first step on the road to changing my system to an all digital set-up. I have all my music on an external drive, which I stream wirelessly to a Squeezebox and then to DAC and amplifier.
I would still like the ability to play compact discs so need a player or better still a dedicated transport. It just seems that are a plenty of players with digital output but all the transports I can find seem to come with a thousand pound plus price tag. I really don’t want to buy a cheap player with a low quality transport that probably needs replacing fairly quickly and also not use the rest of the rest of the electronics (DAC etc). I also feel that fifteen hundred pounds for something like the Cyrus transport is a bit over the top.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
