Too many possibilities, too little time. And I hate isolating tracks for "serious" listening. (I only do serious listening anyway)
My CD player sounds best (a Naim CD5x converted to transport only). Whenever I get the chance to switch it on.
...But having recently updated my USB cable to the Oyaide Continental 5s, I think it's a draw.
(the Oyaide neo d+ usb class s, was great good too, much better than stock USB)
I did find that different USB ports in the back of my Mac Mini, output to Devialet, have a long term impact.
Music storage too, but less so.
Currently trying out the one option not included: Optical.
