Ok, first a little info: I've been into this world of audio hi-fi for about 5 years now. I began with a fairly meager setup (like most) and have upgraded slowly over time. Within the last two years is when i started getting into the world of headphones. Since i live in an apartment i've come to find that headphones are a real blessing.
My current setup is a NAD 541 -> Singlepower Supra -> Sony R10s.
I was one of the lucky ones that got a pair of the R10s when they were for sale on Amazon a while back. I immediately custom ordered the supra, and now i'm looking to upgrade my player. Considering that's the area i'm least knowledgable in, i thought i'd ask you fine folks for some advice.
Right now, my budget is in the $2k-$3.5k range. I'm willing to go a bit over if absolutely necessary. Considering i live in the crappy part (ok, it's really ALL crappy) of Arkansas i really have no place to try out this stuff so i'm mostly going to be buying based on everyone's suggestions (and my own research).
So far my top contenders are:
Rega Jupiter (I've heard the Planet and liked it - is the Jupiter that much better?)
Meridian G08 (This seems to be a favorite for many people. Any opinions welcomed)
Naim CD5i/CD5x (Not sure what the difference is between these two other than price. Any opinions welcomed again. Also any information on the various expensive "cap" upgrades.)
There's a few more i've left off that i don't know much about. I'm open to all suggestions and reviews.
