Thanks for the advice on the JDS 02. I read the review and sounds very good. This is considered a warm amp, I guess. The Senn HD600 is referred to as barely warm but close to neutral. I assume these two would pair well. I'm not interested in a used CD player. I was considering the Marantz 5004...

Thanks again. To clarify, just how important is the CD player to the sound quality I will get from this set up (cd player/headphone amp/headphones). If this is not a real issue I can get a Marantz CD5004 (350.), Schiit Magni (100), and have $550 plus left for the headphones. Let me say from what...

Thanks. I plan to demo a few different headphones. I'll research the Denon 3910. I'll also be mindful of the Schitt info. Appreciate all the info.

Thanks. I assume I would be using the CD player analog out to the headphone amp. The Cambridge Azur has a Wolfson WM8728 DAC which is supposed to be very good, so I'm leaning to the Azur 351C. Cambridge products are supposed to be created with acoustic music in mind. I've been researching...

My last reply didn't register. Thanks a lot. This is the kind of system that feels comfortable to me:CD player/DAC-headphone amp combo/headphones. Please offer advice on any experience with the Musichall cd15.2 and Cambridge Azur 351c. Please keep in mind my music choices in the earlier thread...

Thanks a lot. Now I can narrow the 3 items (CD player/DAC-AMP/Headphones to best suit my sound requirements and music source within my price range. Now I think I'm getting there. If anyone has heard the Musichall 15.2 and Cambridge Azur 351C please advise your input, please consider my music...

I would prefer to stick with cd's if I can get the quality sound I want. Thanks

Thanks and you're right I do need to think it through. What I want is to sit in my chair with headphones on and listen to classical chamber music, small group jazz and female vocalists with chamber size backing. I would certainly be more comfortable with a CD player as my source, this is what I...

Thanks. I'm not planning to rip current cd.s. I thought I would download my music in lossless to somewhere (I don't know where), the end result is I want the music on a device (MP3 player of some sort) hooked up (I guess) to the headphone amp. Does this make sense. I said I don't understand...

Thanks for the reply. Your suggestions range from $859.-$1209. which is around my goals. If I choose the HD600 (are these comfortable for long periods) i would be fine. For my music choices is there any difference between the D1 and U-DAC2? I must admit I don't really understand what the Smart...

I'm 65 and only comfortable with traditional music systems: amp-cd player-speakers but my current situation won't allow it. My listening area is huge: 30ft x20ft with 20ft cathedral ceilings; I can't afford a large enough system for this. My thought is to go with Headphones, Headphone amp, MP3...

Figured out my misinformation on the Classic 3 tweeter upgrade. I was also looking at the Ascend Sierra i and it has a $300. upgrade to the NrT tweeter used on the Sierra 1 Tower. Sorry for all the confusion.

The problem I have with the computer based systems and also BLu-Rays like OPPO is the technical aspects. I'm 65 and not very technically sophisticated. When I read about the computer systems (lossless ...., flac....) I get confused and I think the Oppos would just confuse me with all the...

I may have misread but I thought I read the Tweeter could be upgraded for $300. Can't remember the difference. Probably my error. Do you have any experience with the Classic 3?

Thanks. I have been considering the ERC-2 but a review I read about the super slow slot loading transport has given me second thoughts. Even though sound is most important I am not the most patient person. Thanks for your input.

Am considering buying the NHT Classic 3 speakers and am wondering if it's worth the $300. to upgrade to the tweeters that are standard on the Classic 4 floor standers. Listening to demonstration quality classical cd's mostly.

I have finally retired and decided to put together a good stereo system. Here is what I'm leaning towards now: NHT Classic 3 bookshelf speakers (with or without 10" sub). Emotiva XPA 200 Amp and Emotiva USP 1 preamp. I would like some help in choosing a New CD player. I am trying to stay under...
