Hi All,
So yes, i'm on the look out for a CD player, however......
Current setup:
Looking a CD player to compliment the above, however i also have a large digital music library (which i own, not streamed) which i have spent years cultivating, tidying up the tags, metadata etc. None of it is DRM or restricted in any shape or form.
If such a thing exists I would like a black CD player but also one with a screen which can display the artwork from all of the digital music, (assuming i can plug USB hardrive etc into the player to access my digital music) and the player can pull the embedded artwork from the metadata?
If the player also had a network feature that i could stream podcasts from my iPhone via airplay, bluetooth etc it would be a bonus but not essential.
I don't think there is necessarily a one size fits all here, possibly two separate units would be better? However i have looked at the following:
1. Yamaha CD-NT670D - Cannot display album artwork but appears to have the other features.
2. Pioneer NC50DAB - Has its own separate speaker terminals on rear so not sure if its a good idea to plug into the Marantz PM6005 etc?
Both of the above also have a network feature.
I don't think there is a huge amount of choice out there but i'm going round in circles a bit and would really appreciate any help or guidance to help make some decisions.
Thank you all
Simon.
