[cowby]

Hi There,

 

Thinking of buying a cd player which has internal hd installed. I only found :

 

Alesis Masterlink ML9600 - Out-Dated but still using by some Studios

http://www.alesis.com/masterlink

 

Yamaha CDR HD1500 - No usb

Tascam dvra-1000HD Most wanted but out of my budget wish the price tag = $1500

Heard that the D/A part is better than Larvy DA10.

 

Korg's new MR2000S - right on my budget, 1bit Wow haven't heard the real thing. wish it has a CD tray .. anyone ?

Interesting. I can't say I've ever looked into one of these. What exactly is your plan or how do you intend to use one? Kind of cool :-)

Chris,

 

Thanks for your reply and yes CD player with H/D installed is fun to use.

 

I have a small NAS (QNAP TS-109) and don't you think that if for personal use (1:00am), is it nice to just power up your CD / HD Player with just the headphone amp on then your fav. tracks is ready.

 

I hope a device which can rip the disc to its internal harddisk or with a USB connection that can transfer your wav files from computer to it. Humm... Starting to look at those Korea product something like Media server with built in Audio out ... stuff like that.

 

P.S Squeeebox and Opus are still not on my list yet.

 

Regards!

makes a music server in its Azur range that is a highly regarded cd player plus 160 gig hard disc.

 

I paid about $500 for mine, used.
