[QUOTE="Mike M, post: 46616, member: 766"] Hi IMHO, a reasonable quality dedicated CD player will better what you are currently using. I also use a CA840C, which also doubles as a DAC. Playing CD's directly produces superior sound to my computer based files into the same DAC. Going from single ended to balanced (XLR) further improves the SQ. These improvements can be suttle, but collectively they all add up to the point where you suddenly get the emotional attachment to the music. I support Vertigo's recommendation to audition. The worst that can happen is that your wallet becomes a little emptier and the smile on your face a little broader ;). There are also some very (relatively) inexpensive upgrades available in the second hand market. Regards M [/QUOTE]
