A late relative has just bequeathed to me somewhere in the region of 2,000 classical and jazz CDs, for which I'm very grateful and now intend to listen to all of them - expanding my musical knowledge and keeping a selection.
My system is streaming-based (iMac - Arcam irDac - Arcam A19 - MA RX1) so I'm now scouting for a decent quality CD transport to play the new music via my irDAC - either coax or optically linked.
While searching online it occurred to me that Arcam DVD players on auction sites might offer better value than CD players. Same build quality, same digital outputs.
Am I barking up the wrong tree -- or is this the best value solution? I'd really appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
Many thanks.
