[QUOTE="loctorwabbit;694975"]Thanks jpgr4blu! : ) interesting that you're at the crossroads of going over to streaming. i sold my electrocompanied CD player and got the AMR thinking i'd 'cleanup' the house and never need to buy another cd again..... It didnt work!!!! At the back of my mind, and confirmed on listening to the aesthetix romulus and CD9 comparisons with their on board DAC vs on board CD player, the CD player always wins. whether it be streamed tidal or ripped redbook.
I find the same thing! I was surprised but the pace and timing on my CD source (CD9) beats any streaming I have tried including a NAS
fed into the Ref DAC. The latter is still very good, just not as musical as the CD9 with a red book CD
