MF A5 CDP - too good for pop CDs?

Having two transports is not going to offer enough of a SQ change to be worth while. How big do you think the differences in transports are? Two different transports into the same DAC would have absolutely minute differences. Having two mid-fi to high-end CDPs is the way /I/ would go. As in regards to waste, I mean, I say what your saying, there is a lot of logic to working out a system that works well for everything. But as I get into more well recorded classical music, the SQ demended of my listening preferences for rock and classical is getting stretched, and I think I will have less ear fatigue if I finally get a second headphone rig up and running. I get a lot of joy from high-fi and if having two systems increases that, the better.
