OK, in my sixties, have loved audio since my teens when the small independent stores used to let me sit in their various rooms and compare and dream about one day owning. Now, I have several systems in different rooms but my main system consisted of a Sony ES 400 CD player, which died, I bought another, loaded it, died again. The belts and parts on these aren't that great and even though retired, I can't go through loading one of these again. Been through Albums, Cassettes, CDs, and guess I got to make another change, though I am perfectly happy with the sound of CD's I don't like going through a case of 400 to find one to play.
I need a good recommendation for a music player that I can ripp these 400 CDs to at a high bit rate (my ears are still great). Would like to keep my cost under $2-3K. Got to be honest, not familiar with a lot of the new technology when researching these, but learned at an early age, by good equipment used and don't by fancy cables.
Will buy new now, since technology is advancing so fast these days. Would like to have a decent display of what is playing on the front of the unit. Have an Accuphase Amp, Mcintosh PreAmp (had to upgrade for that remote control), some B&W 803 speakers. Not too worried about streaming, but if that ability comes with the unit, fine.
