I have a Marantz sa8005 cd player, they did a real nice job with that one. Has about 99% of their ultra high end cd players, I wish it had balanced output’s but you can’t have it all, but it does have a really good DAC. I’m tempted to get a turntable, but the thought of building a vinyl collection at this point in life is more than I could handle. SACD is enough I guess. I like having physical media, but I do have a computer attached to the usb input on the cd player which is nice. Now if I could get a fresh set of ears, mine are getting old. I am thinking of upgrading the L7’s to ceramic tweeters and a custom x-over “foil caps” exc. it would be fun to see what they’re capable of. On the other hand I’m really looking at Tekton speakers as a upgrade, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.
