[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 73812, member: 1342"] Hi With your budget in mind, a separate transport and DAC is pretty much out of the question. But what you can do is buy a CD player with a good transport section that you can add a DAC to at a later stage, i.e. a couple of years (3-5) down the line, as DAC technology becomes better and more affordable. In essence, a new DAC would at this point act as an 'upgrade', allowing you to get 'improved' sound from that CD player. Or, you might like the CD player enough and never feel the need to add a DAC. Regardless, I would look at the following models : Yamaha CDS-700 @ R5,500 (My pick) Marantz CD5003 @ R4,000 Marantz CD6003 @ R7,000 NAD C515BEE @ Should be about 4k Cambridge Audio 340C Should be about R2,800 N [/QUOTE]
