I have an elderly but nice Cambridge Audio CD5 feeding a Marantz 66 KI amp and Kef 104/2 speakers.
Im thinking I should be upgrading the system capability to accommodate higher bitrate digital and and considering either
1/ retaining the CD5 and adding a DAC
2/ Ditching the CD5 for a Marantz CD6005 which has a modern DAC internal.
Im intrigued to see how the CD5 would sound as a transport thru a modern DAC, but loathe to waste cash if its going to be outperformed by more modern gear? Should I go for a new CD player, I must admit a USB facility would be useful too....
Has anyone done similar? How did you get on and any recommendations welcomed.
Cheers
