Heh, you know I love my Rotel RCD-1070 but then again it is the only source I've spent a significant amount of time with. Oh and my Civic is running just fine too!

You could get an old DAC that has HDCD decoding.

If your transport ever fails you don't have to worry about looking for another HDCD player that way.


This Home Theater Pre has HDCD decoding:

The Denon DCM-390, along with some of their higher-end receivers and DVD players. The DVD players in particular are highly-reviewed around here, especially as modification platforms. Denon's carousel CDP reliability is awful, though (ex. DCM-3xx).

I've heard nothing but good things about the 980, so I can somewhat second this recommendation. I plan on buying one very soon.

If you're referring to my post, in what way was it spam?

Edit: Gotcha.

The moderators removed a post above mine that was clearly from a spammer. I was definitely not referring to your post

Linn Ikemi (released '98 or something through '05 I believe). Out of production now though I think but used units can be had for $1400-2000. Retail is well over $3000.
