Hello, hoping someone might be able to advise on this. I was set on getting a separate CD player, up to about £400, but am now wondering, and wanted a bit of advice before demoing any.
I've got a Marantz SR6001 and a (full) Tannoy Arena speaker package.
I'm thinking I could instead use whatever BlueRay / upscaling DVD player I get, and connect it digitally to the Marantz, which has 192/24 DACs. I'm thinking this should be reasonably impressive if the player is good and doesn't have a lot of jitter.
Then, I haven't actually spent extra on a CD player, and if and when I upgrade the system later, I can spend on a CD player at that point.
Does anybody think I'll be missing out on a lot of potential performance right now, against having a proper CD player going to the amp's analogue inputs, if I do this?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
