It's MUCH easier to follow a musical line, and to understand how they tie together. The first is clarity - you can quite literally hear things you don't through the other 2 transports I have (a Rotel 975 and a Sony DVP-N50S). I bought one inexpensively and it is feeding into a Meridian 563 DAC via an AQ Cinnamon coax digital cable. I’d also ask for the history of the player & S/N to check when it was sold & to which Distributor.īriefly: PIoneer DV09 works very well as a CD only transport. If looking for this player on the used market, the usual advice applies look for an example which has no more than 2 owners, ask to see lots of photos from all angles, make sure all original items (incl: the orig shipping box) are included, check the seller’s f’back & use Paypal. Because the transport mechanism is smooth and solid & benefits from JVC’s legendary K2 processing, it is cherry ripe for connecting to a good outboard dac. It is a very smooth, sophisticated sounding player and has excellent build quality for its price. I used to own an XL-Z1050 for 18 years and it never skipped a beat.
Keep it under your hat before they all get snapped up.Īt the prices they go for what you got to loose.Īlso sound great as stand alone CDP’s.+ 1. Make great transports can be Picked up for Peanuts.īut hush it is a secrete, how can anything like that be good.

What drove my initial post was that I thought it might be nice to develop a list of CD players that can be recommended to those who still compile and listen to CDs and, in addition are interested in upgrading to a separate DAC for redbook or hirez file playback.
#BEST VINTAGE ONKYO CD PLAYER UPGRADE#
If I were to accomplish a significant upgrade in CD playback, I believe it would require a much greater budget, likely to be spent on a CD player/CD transport only player (such as the Neo 260). It has served me well for CD playback via my DAC, and DVD viewing. I purchased mine new from a dealer about 4 years ago for $500 as the addition of Blueray greatly diminished the value of DVD players. Prior to Blueray, this was marketed as a universal player with a retail price of $2000. As I stated above I am currently using a Arcam DV-137.
