John Chi-town Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Having a hard time finding a new CD Player/Transport with "Balanced" analog outputs. Looking to replace my Adcom GCD 600. My preamp and amp have balanced outputs and would like a CD player with as well. Looking to spend no more than $500-$600. Any recommendations out there? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Might look for an Oppo BDP95 or 105 Lot's of good deals showing up on used ones as users are going to 4K players. BDP-95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 May be this Korg DAC http://www.korg.com/us/products/audio/ds_dac_100/ It has been on market for a good time now and should be discounted. Best results are gained with supplied software which works best on windows, a bit less good on MAC OS latest versions (as I read on the net). Not working on Linuxes.

willland Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I currently own one of these and have owned a total of three. Great player, DAC feature, solidly built. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/cd-sacd-players-cambridge-audio-azur-840c-cd-player-dac-2894-2017-11-13-digital Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 You have a long run where balanced connectors are necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. However I have my pre -amp and amp running balanced connections. INMHO better performance than unbalanced. That is with my equipment and my ears.

John Chi-town Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Anyone have any experience with Emotiva? Looking at this CD/Player/Transport. Specs seem good, and reviews are decent as well. https://emotiva.com/product/erc-3/ Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I've had a few Emotiva components and they were all top notch. About the only major issues they've had is firmware updates sometimes taking a long time to be released and announcing new equipment and delaying production for a while.

I’m very impressed with the quality for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well, I was surfing Audiogon, and ended up purchasing this transport player. Should integrate well with my other gear. Thanks to all for the input. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/cd-sacd-players-adcom-gcd-750-2017-11-29-digital?show_listing=true Best regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GCD-750 single player is highly regarded and should be a wonderful addition to your Adcom stack. Congrats and enjoy. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works and sounds great as you mentioned. I have original box and remote. 9/10 if anyone is interested? Best regards, John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
