Hello,
I am looking to buy a CD player (Yamaha CD - S300 or Marantz 5005 or NAD c516BEE). Currently i have the following setup
Yamaha As500 Stereo Integrated Amplifier
Yamaha NS-8390 - Floor standers
Yamaha YST-215 - Subwoofer
LG DVD player
I have 500+ ACDs and 100+ albums in iTunes. I play iTunes from my Windows laptop with HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC. ES9023, 96khz/24bit (incl USB to optical converter feature)
My budget is around ~20K/-.
So I have following questions
1. whether CD player would bring any improvement to the current setup and whether the improvement be noticeable?
2. If so, whether to go with Yamaha or Marantz or NAD CD players mentioned above. Which is better?
3. Will CD player be any better than Sabre USB DAC. ES9023 (96khz/24bit) that im already using playing through laptop?
Thanks & Regards,
Charly, Hyderabad, India
