You guys are really experts (I'm not) and I need your help here.
I've been playing stereo cd music out of my Pioneer 563 and a very old Technics 5 cd changer. From reading various sources, I have gleaned that I can improve my stereo cd sound by getting a better player - one dedicated to cds.
Specifically, I am running NAD surround receiver attached to two Outlaw Monoblocks. I think it works very nice for home theater and 5.1 music.
I have also gleaned that I would get much better stereo cd sound with a dedicated amp/cd setup. True?
There is a deal on audiogon for a NADC372 amp and NAD CD542 for $1,050. Is this a better option than getting, say, only a $1,000 cd player like the Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD and attaching this player to the surround receiver (also a deal on Audiogon as well for $1,000)? Or, I could buy the NAD C320BEE and the NAD CD542 from an authorized dealer. I have a budget of about $1,000 to spend.
I would greatly appreciate any insight the forum might have. Please help!
