So..
I have a CD only system comprising
Marantz CD80, Musical Fidelity Pre Amp3,
Linx Stratos Monoblocs and Monitor Audio R300MD’s
The CD and speakers/stands I’ve owned from new. None of the above has been serviced or upgraded.
Now the G/F hates it all so it isn’t used. We are moving later this year (Covid permitting) and I hope to get a room/area/garage that I can use as a listening room but realistically our budget will make this difficult and even if it does happen will probably need smaller speakers.
I listen a fair bit at the moment though the iPhone via Dragonfly Black and Grado SR80’s and the Black was a nice upgrade.
Question is, do I sell up, keeping the CDP and upgrading the headphones quite a bit and just listening though them for CD’s and thinking about streaming with quality SQ down the line?
Possibly going though a DAC? although the CD80 still has a lot of love for it I see.
The CD does have volume control for the headphone socket
