I have a Yamaha cdd775 right now, and it has this very annoying signature to it, where it gives the bass this strange cave like sound. I cant really explain it, but its there. Its not a terrible cd player, and i like it better then the sony sacd/dvd player sound, well in the cd player region that is. It just has a warmer sound. But i am ready to upgrade and am wondering what might be some good choices for cheap prices.
I am also looking at a integrated amp, so maybe u can tell what a good cd player might match these amps. I am now running a NAD C350.
Amps looking at: Sugden a21a, Creek 4330, Musical Fidelity A2 or A220, Rega Brio or Mira.
The cd players I would like some imput on are the NAD C541i, Rega planet original (does anyone know what DAC this uses?), music hall cd25, or Arcam but not the alpa series i hate the look so much i wouldnt live with it. Something like the cd72 maybe? i duno, i wished i would have gotton the cd72 that was listing on a'gon for 200 bucks, what a steal!
I have also heard to try the $299 onix xcd-88, anyone heard this thing? seems to cheap to be true.
So any information would be helpful, whether on cds or amps! Thanks!
