Are you using a separate DAC?

No will that help?

It may do Dan although your Quad CDP is no mean performer in itself. I run an Arcam CD72 through a Rega DAC and the resulting sound is wonderfully analogue. Mind you, the CD72 has a particularly good DAC circuit onboard so it sounds pretty good through its analogue out sockets. Using it with the Rega takes things up a notch however

My Meridian 507 sounds excellent, but using it as a transport into a Theta DS Pro Progeny DAC definitely takes things up a couple of notches further soundwise and bunging a Monarchy DIP (jitter buster) into the mix adds even more!

How does the Monarchy DIP work Geoff and where does one place it in a system?

+1, I'm in the same boat, wondering why I've been wasting my time with digital. Should never have given up vinyl in the first place!

I sold my Arcam CD23T after buying the Technics. I had virtually stopped playing CDs

The Arcam sounded stunning and I loved it but I couldn't justify keeping a £1500 CD player to play the odd CD so it had to go.

I bought a maplins Dac for £36 and use a Panasonic bluray player to listen to CDs now or feed the TV into the amp via the Dac.

I still rarely listen to CDs though, I mainly listen to radio and vinyl.

Yeah from now on i be buying Vinyl !! Tbh im not gonna be buying Dac's and things just means more wires and more boxes. My cd player will now be occasional use and that's a fact

I'm sure mine will still get use. The NVA streamer is very good, and Nick's dac makes it even better. I've been spending a bloody fortune on fancy vinyl though...
