I am trying to decide between these two CD players to go with my "new" old school hi-fi system. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1424721/vintage-modern-1979-hi-fi
I like the fact that the Teac has a USB port for playing mp3's off a flash drive or my iPod nano. However, reviews on Amazon are mixed. Some say it has reliability issues. Hmmm. It does have a Burr Brown DAC and good specs. I like all the features of this player but I am concerned about build quality.
The Onkyo gets rave reviews, has a Wolfson DAC, a better built chassis and better specs. Sounds like a much better made and more audiophile quality. However, no USB port for my ipod. I would have to make mp3 CD's of my downloaded tunes which is not a big deal, just more work.
Which way should I go? prices are about the same with the teac running about $20 cheaper.
