Well... the upgrade bug is starting to hit.... I am thinking about getting a newer model Cd Player something a bit more high end than what i have. my exsisting CD player is a Pioneer PDR-W839 with a 3 disc changer on the left and a burner on the right. Im looking to get something a bit more upscale.... I don't need a burner anymore since my computer has one. there is nothing wrong with the current sound of my CD player its specs are pretty good. the only issue is the 3 disc changer is quite clunky when changing discs and when i play a cd in the burner slot the CD will skip at high volume when the bass is thumping. Im looking at getting a really good single disc CD player. what are my options?
im looking for ease of use, decent features great specs and must be black color. my budget is around $500-600 dollars. I thought about getting a dedicated SACD player but i only have one set of multichannel inputs. the current dvd player is great on DVDA but ive been told the SACD sound would be better with a dedicated SACD player. im not sure at this point. ive looked at models from Denon, Sony, and Onkyo for a good cd player but im not stuck on any one brand name if someone can point out a specific model that sounds phenomenal and has good specs on paper. (what specs should i look at?) my current model spes are: Playback S/N Ratio: 108 Db dynamic range: 98d: and channel seperation 98 Db ( I dont think thats bad)
here is my current Equipment list:
Onkyo TXSR-800 AV receiver
ADCOM GFA-7807 7 channel amp
Monster Power HTS-3500 Mk2 Power center
Speakers: Klipsch RF7(front) RC-7(Center) RS-7 (Surround) RB-75 Back Surround
2 Velodyne HGS-18 subs ( I Like Bass)
Pioneer Elite DV-45A DVD Player with SACD/DVDA playback
