upgrade cdp to transport+dac

matt

would like to upgrade CDp to transport+dac
any suggestion budget 80k

now i am using AA CDP and like to listen classical and opera and jazz
want more analylical and noble.

1. CAT + UPSAMPLING SOFTWARE + CHORD QBD76 ~$6XXXX  
2. CHORD BLU TRANSPORT + QBD76 ~$90K

OPTION 1, if you know how to configure CAT and use software properly, it can easily defeat  CDT + DAC set over $100K, it can provide extremely analytical and noble sound, the drawback is many people found difficult in tuning CAS (driver, player, buffer setting, underclock, ...) and trouble to rip ALL CDs.

OPTION 2, you may also need to buy the original aluminum rack which costs ~$10K

where in MK or central can audit them?

I think you can audit CHORD in Central only. The same place as the Pioneer LX82 gathering arranged by post76 some time before.

For $80K budget I think you can have different choices, maybe Jadis Hing can suggest more options with "noble" sound, just find out the most suitable pair for your own taste, enjoy
