Headphoneus Supremus
While proficient with rendering micro-detail, I found the 6000CDT deficient on the macro-scale, resulting in an overly analytic, asynergistic and musically lifeless presentation overall: IMHO the whole is neither greater than--nor even equal to--the sum of its parts.
System: Audiolab 6000CDT-->JPS digital coax-->ifi SPDIF iPurifier-->Chord Qutest [green or red filter; powered with ifi Micro iUSB3.0]-->Neotech UPOCC copper interconnect-->ecp DSHA-3F headphone amplifier[-->Focal Utopia w/4-pin XLR cable]-->UPOCC power chord-->PS Audio P300 regenerator-->AudioQuest Ultimate Outlet.
Am contemplating the Cambridge Audio CXC transport, or the Pro-Ject CD Box RS-2 T, but will probably just bite the bullet, rip my CDs to lossless and use the USB out. Have had much better fidelity that way in general.
