Quick system suggestion
The CD 8 SE is the logical CD player to match. These two units together represent probably the best value sound in the hi-fi world today. An alternative system option would be to choose the CD XT SE CD transport and order the amp with the optional Qx DAC that up-samples all digital sources connected, for even better sound quality.
