Hello all.

Gee I thought auditioning the Cambridge Audio 840C was going to help complete my
puzzle of getting my dream source player. Upscaling with options to use it as a DAC,
sound very tempting.

Some posts I've read suggest that this player is fatiguing. Grrrrrr...

I have a playstation 3 original which can play SACD. I can tell you all it is allright. I was
told the CD player in it is not that great. Hmmmm.

I guess it would be too much to ask if any of you can suggest a 'non-fatiguing' CD
player. If it can also play SACD then bonus.

Features I'm seeking...

1. Semi decent remote (can't be that hard)
2. XLR out (gives me more options later)
3. Single disc only (not multi CD tray or cartridge)

I basically audtioned the following :

1. NAD Master Series (quite good, the CD player has nothing on the SACD)
2. Cambridge Audio 840C - tried it on both through speakers and headphones, both
sound excellent, most impressive
3. Raysonic CD128 - quite good, looks impressive (too many lights though)

I'm rather short for choice, which was mainly why I waited so many years to upgrade
my amp.

Your thoughts please
