The 225's haven't arrived yet, but they should be here soon, so I'll have to start buying components asap.
There are especially two subject I'd like some advice on:
1. Midrange CD player vs. budget CD player with external DAC
2. Headphone amp vs. stereo amp
I need a new CD player and an amp to drive the 225's, but the alternatives above are making it difficult for me. My budget is around $1000. The less I spend the better, of course.
The advantage of buying a CD player and a stereo amp is that I may use them in a speaker set up in the future. But if a headphone amp will do a better job driving the 225's, then that's the way to go.
Keep in mind that I live in Europe when you recommend components. Thanks.
