well,

the big solution is a Classè CDT300.

Is sure more expensive vs. the Rotel Rcd1072 but so in one piece I have a dvd, cd very great :T

CDP300 or CDT300?

CDT300 sure! with the SSP800 is more as enough :T :T

Rotel 1072

style,

I had a similar issue when I built mt HT room. I had a Rotel 1072 from before. Then I got a McIntosh pre-amp. I use my very nice Denon Blu-Ray player to send CD content (via digital coax) to the Mac. I compared this setup with doing an analog output from the Rotel. I ended up liking the Mac to do the processing, so I stop using the Rotel. The Denon-Mac combo sounded better to me.

I think your best solution is to use the Denon to send CD content over via digital to the Classe processor.

If you do want to get a separate CD player, I still like the Rotel 1072 as a very good performing CD player. Especially for the money they cost.

You did mention XLR in a CD. That is a nice feature. The Cambridge 840 does have it. It also costs about twice what the Rotel does ($1300-$1500).

Hope this helps.

I got the 840c and it definitely will not disappoint AT ALL. I could list all the pluses and what not, but it's best to hear it for yourself. Which there's places that give 30 days to return, might want to check one of them out since all you loose is shipping (back to them).

@PewterTA,

I like the 840.. the XLR I find a very pro point...
wow, you can have a piece for a month the test the player????

in Switzerlnad no. :evil:

My dealer have a Arcam in silver..models: 73, 192, or the dvd/cd 135 or 137..

the version dvd/cd from this Arcam with my utilise from only music not as first choice is a tentation...I will replace the Denon3930 with a Arcam 135 or 137...

The 840 is priced ca. $. 2000.-!!

PewterTA what do you think???
thanks Style

I think the 840c is one of the best players I've heard at or near it's price point. I've listened to a couple 4K players and it easily matched. Maybe not perfectly identical in sound quality, but so close I couldn't justify the price difference. Plus with paying (we pay $1200) roughly for the player and if you would add the modifications that referenceaudiomods.com does, it'll make it come very very close to $10k CDPs.

I have no doubts that in your list of players you are looking for that it is the best player and will give you 100% satisfaction.
