    Best budget SACD player?

    Hello all, a couple of months ago I made a post asking how I could make a setup to listen to SACDs with my IEMs and received a lot of very helpful responses. From what I understand, the best way to do this will be to find something with analog outs and use an amp (or RCA to headphone jack) to...

    Need advice on listening to SACDs on a budget

    Hello, I'm getting more into classical music and have been interested in listening to recordings and remasterings on SACDs. I don't have a speaker system and instead would like to use IEMs, which I use for the rest of my music listening. I should say that I am a beginner to hi-fi equipment in...

    Is an audio media transport really better than PC?

    Hello guys, I'm having some doubts about purchasing an audio grade media transport or music streamer. Wouldn't say I'm a sole PC Hi-FI dude, by recently I've been seeing a lot of reviews and articles talking about using a audio streamer to play music can certainly outperform PC playing, like...

    Hello everyone, I am currently looking for some help with a Technics SL-555 Compact Disc Player that I picked up today for free. I figured that it was free for a reason, but I couldn't possibly pass up a deal that amazing. When I got it home, I realized that it appears to be in excellent...

    Pioneer PD-204 - sometimes work, sometimes not - please help

    Hello! I recently bought a Pioneer PD-204 CD player. First time I plugged it in, the problem was there: closing the tray and the disc is not spinning up. I tried with like 5-6 discs, and at some point one of the motors started to spin up (with a bizzarre noise which was gone after a few secs)...

    CD Player Chirp...

    Hello everyone, just nabbed a Rega Planet CD player on Fleabay and, unfortunately, it has a playback issue. On some tracks (more easily heard on quiet ones) the CD player produces a "chirp" or "crackle" in its audio output (heard through the speakers). I have A/B tested the issue extensively...

    Favorite portable CD player with translucent lid?

    The other day I spotted a pack of Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R discs on the shelf at Walmart. They look so cool, and I just had to get them. I've never been particularly interested in CD audio, but it would be a waste to use these just for data storage, so I'd like to find a decent portable CD...

    KLH Model eleven 11 spinning too fast

    I have a beautiful KLH model 11. It just came out of servicing sounding perfect. However it has begun to speed up, and after switching it from playing a 45 to a 33, it is now fast. Not as fast as a 45, but I counted 111 rotations in 3 minutes so the voices do not match. Some history, I live in...

    Portable DAC vs CD player

    I'm looking at 2 options 1) Using my current run of the mill 20 year old DVD player to play my CDs and send the digital signal to a Fiio E17k then a line out from the Fiio to my vintage receiver. 2) Do a bunch of research on which CD or DVD players have good DAC chips and scrounge Craigslist and...

    NEC CD-530 CD player... any good?

    I found an NEC CD-530 CD player for ~$20. I'm looking for a CD player that sounds good but for a budget price (I'm 15 and unfortunately don't have a lot of cash...). Any opinions on this CD player? Should I buy it? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Electrobrand QCD-1000 portable CD player

    Here is the Electrobrand QCD-1000 portable CD player. Strange as it may be this is the BEST sounding portable I have EVER heard. I must have bought 20 portable CD players trying to find something that even came close. Needless to say I am still using the Electrobrand!
