(Part 2) Best home stereo system components according to redditors

I would rip them all and listen as I listen to everything else, a pi running squeezeplayer. If you want to listen to the physical CDs, the advantage is a single player requires you to put in one disc and listen to it, not skip from one disc to the next.

Any reasonable cd player at this point won't skip, have jitter, and likely has a great DAC. If I was going to buy one today, I would grab

this one because I can swap out the other 4 discs while one is playing and it's a good brand with good reliability.

That said, I don't. I rip them with DBPowerAMP and play them as FLAC.

Same here. Only it was this one and in 1998ish it was around 700 bucks.

• This baby right here is worth a shot, you can store up to 400 albums on it and afterwords just scroll to the number of the album and it plays! I have one at home and love it!

At that price, new units models from Gemini, Numark and Monoprice are probably the best you can do.

Generally most producs in this price range aren't expected to last very long. It would be worth looking into a set of used Pioneer CDJ-1000?

Actually I think I'll go with the speakers you mentioned and https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-CD-C600BL-5-Disc-Changer-Black/dp/B002NKM4C2/ref=sr_1_4?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1481657379&sr=1-4&keywords=6+disc+cd+player

You didn't give us a budget so I didn't know.

Assuming you're joking, this one from Cambridge Audio would do the trick.

Please critique my budget setup for listening to CDs. I don't understand the technical numbers like impedance and Ohms. I just want something that doesn't hiss. I tried using my laptop to play CDs, but the ambient hissing was audible.

• Sennheiser HD 598 Cs Closed Back Headphone (Already purchased. Great for glasses wearers and they sound crisp and amazing.)
  
• FX-Audio tube amp
  This is cheaper and smaller than this Onkyo amp. I will only use headphones, not speakers, so I think the Onkyo amp would be overkill.
