Hi I have a Naim Uniti Atom played through KEF LS50 speakers. I mainly stream from Qobuz and listen to Internet Radio.
I have recently been looking at my smallish CD collection in light of my partner saying she liked and missed playing CD's and
so have just started looking at CD players/transports. Have also looked at SACD players (I have no SACD's but am interested in the upscaling provided to give better sound?) But also aware of the increase in cost to get possible increase in sound quality.
I have looked at reviews of the following:
Rotel CD11 Tribute
Denon DCD 1600NE
Denon DCD 2500NE
Arcam CDs50
Audiolab 6000CDT
My questions are do I need a transport only and make use of the DAC in the NAIM or do I need a CD Player with Integrated DAC to test a different DAC against the
NAIM. Are SACD players worth looking at for improved SQ? I have a budget of approx. £500 so I realise I maybe looking at used equipment in some cases.
Not sure which way to go. Would be interested in any thoughts.
Thanks
