Hi,

My config is currently set as :

- room : 7m * 5m * 2.5m
- b&w 802d
- krell kav-2250 + kav-280p
- transparent ultra (speaker cables and single ended conn pre amp-amp)
- music : jazz, classic, reggae

- ps3 (source)

Could I get some advices in terms of cd player? I am looking for something that would price up to the krell sacd.

Also, could anyone tell if there is a difference between the krell dvd standard and the sacd in terms of cd player?

Thanks

Might worth take a look at a DAC (decent one). It seems to be a key for producing quality analogue signal.

Judging from your set up, benchmark DAC1 (USB or Non) or similar range might be your starting point.

You can still use PS3 as transport. If you are not happy with the result, just add a CD transport.

At your price point, go check out some of the Esoteric units.

Which PS3 model do you have?

Have you tried SACD and CD playback on it?

Have the PS3 60Go with SACD functionnality, but the pre amp is wired with the standad AV cables provided, which doesn't really help.

Have you tried the enhanced cables?

Thanks ConMan. The DAC1 is indeed an interesting option.

Have you had a chance to listen to this combo ( PS3 , DAC1) before?
