I have been listening to my new pride and joy for some time now and I am amazed at the quality of the sound.Becoming better each time I listen.I use this phrase as I am not comfortable using words that normally frequent audiophile type conversations.Still learning.The source that I use, is an Apple TV.I cannot imagine that I need to spend a large amount of money to buy a CD player and that it could beat the sound that I am currently experiencing.Does anyone think it is possible? ???
