Several expletives come to mind now, and the word bugger! Scrub the SACD route, still room for a really decent CD player though.  I didn't realise the Maj DAC didn't do DSD.  I thought i'd read the spec thoroughly,  my bad.  Embarrassed

OK.........  CD player between £600-£1000 that will meld well with the MAj DAC.

Hi it is silver and a mark 1. My brother bought if from new and had it upgraded under its 5 year warranty to latest firmware before I bought off him about 2 years ago.

I bought a mark 2s Eco from eBay in early/mid 2015. The main reason I haven't sold so far is that I wanted to be fully convinced the later version is preferred. On balance I think it is, the mark 1 bass to me is a little leaner more punchy and tighter and I do miss that.

Please let me know if want more info. Orig box manual & remote.

You can still go down the SACD route with the Majestic dac or any other dac for that matter. Mr Wicked over at the ComputerAudiophile forums has a solution involving an old PS3 and custom firmware which allows you to rip the DSD files which can then be converted to PCM. He is also working on a more elegant solution which you can register for. This is currently the only way to rip SACD content in the public domain.

I have done this and can confirm that it works well.

PM me if you need further info Smile
Equipment choices:

Playstation 3 SACD, Bitzie DAC, Meridian Explorer DAC, Lautus USB cable, HD250-II, HD650
