Vintage Kenwood DP-7050 CDP - keep it?
Hello all,
New member - first post. Did some reading on the forum and it looks like some real knowledgeable people on here. Can I impose on you for an opinion?
I have a Kenwood DP-7050 CD player. Purchased in Europe in ~1994, so 240-volt. Now back in North America, I plug it into a 240/120 transformer. Playing through a harmon/kardon AVR 247.
Sometimes I think to myself, 16 years old, even though in the day it was a top quality cdp, surely it's painfully obsolete technology nearly two decades later. DACs must be infinitely more "pure" in thier conversion today.
OR, is this a fallacious assumption? Maybe components like DACs have just gotten cheaper and crappier and I should hold on to this gem.
Which is it?
Thanks.
