It is time I finally focus on the source, again, since the Cambridge 840c is what I have currently. Pretty sure I want tube in ther next go, and have been readig about the following:
Shanling T-150
Shanling CD3000 (Underwood L2 mod w/clock)
Raysonic CD-168
Raysonic CD-128 (Underwood modded)
Ayon CD 7
Ayon CD 2
Somewhere up to $3.5k cost (not retail).
Now, the Marantz SA11 (or SA7) are enticing, but afraid it takes me where I am now - unhappy with SS, though, I do like setting my amp directly on the source, so a top loader will cause rack issues.
Just getting started with this, but curious just how many good options there are. A dedicated DAC through the 840c is NOT a good option, as I do NOT want more moving parts.
