Hi, I am new to the cd player market. I use to be a PC-fi that uses sound card for my audio playback.
After a year, my SACD and Blue-ray music collection has been built up and my old Sony NS999 cannot feed my need anymore. So I need to find a new player that has the best price to performance ratio. Here are some thing I need:
1. SACD playback ability (Blueray will be the best to have)
2. Dedicated Stereo Playback circuit (Dedicated power supply will be a good to have)
3. Balance XLR output (If the deal is really good, this may not be needed)
4. DAC (do not think a play that does not have a DAC can do 24/192)
5. Priced around $1000 or less. (I am not loaded with cash so price will be a issue here)
Here are some I found very interesting to me, hope any one that heard anyone of them have comment. Also, I need some technical tips about how to compare CD players cause I am very new to this area.
OPPO BDP-95
Marantz UD7007
Onkyo DVSP1000
Onkyo C-S5LV
Yamaha CD-S1000BL
Thanks for your input~~~
