I would also look at the Creek Classic CD Player for $1500.

1. A high quality transport with a high quality DAC will usually sound better than a good quality transport with a high quality DAC. That said the DAC in the Creek CD player is pretty good, but you could add a better DAC in the future.

2. You can use your subwoofer with your PSB VisionSound 400s for a full range two-channel system.

I auditioned the Creek Classic before buying the Marantz SA11S1 and found the Creek a bit anemic by comparison. Given the purchase I made, you can guess what I'd recommend, Spencer, but your ears are the ones to make your decision.

That Creek page says it has 117dB dynamic range!! How can that be out of a CD SACD is barely above that.

Terrible support. I purchased a set of Image T5 and C5 speakers with a Subsonic 6i. I was very happy with the set until my Subsonic 6i died only a few months after the 1 year warranty. When I inspected the amp, the spare fuse was blown, and there was a small burn mark on one of the circuit boards. When I contacted the company, they asked for the serial number of the amp. There wasn't one. The PSB rep said the speaker was "B-stock" or refurbished. A company rep offered to sell me a new amp for $319.48+shipping. That's much more than a brand new comparable sub from other manufacturers. The reseller sold me a used sub with a known problem as new, and the PSB rep was backing his reseller. Stay away from this company!

Welcome! Barbican33-

you are looking at some nice cd players. I will 2nd the Creek. From your list, i like the Marantz (if you do not like Creek) SA15S1.
