Put a R2R DAC in the mix, you'll be glad you did.

Now that's a bargain.

R10k for a new dac doesn't go very far but can go a long way on a 2nd hand. Try the modi multibit if you're looking for new.

Mostly alone, with two regular exceptions until I decommissioned what was my listening room - a monthly Saturday morning session with CAD exploring artists and albums each of us had discovered since we last caught up.  Great way to expand musical palette.  A monthly or bi-monthly session with a...

You need one of these, then you can spend the time you would've spent mowing with the boss.  She'll soon yearn for some own time and relent on the room treatment.

Don't ridicule truth. It's posts like this and all those about load shedding that create a negative impression of the country. Please stop immediately!

Assuming there are no issues within the playback chain A, B and C should sound good and the choice should come down to the sound signature you prefer, which is pretty much going tho be determined by the DAC implementation in the CDP or DAC. DAC is also going to handle higher resolution files...

Streaming only if you want to go outside your own collection and leave the version of an album only in the hands of the streaming service.  Tidal stuff relating to older albums tends to be remasters so more brickwalled / compressed, less dynamic range. If you're playing own stuff and don't care...
