@mblssmp2 thx I ve been reading a lot that cd still better than tidal or Qobuz etc. So the best way forward the. Is to buy dp560 use that Dac for exploring music and use cd to enjoy music do I understand right? Is my system revealing enough?

Yes, this is what I would do but remember other people have different opinions and the last thing I would like to star is a big discussion of CDs versus streaming. You have an outstanding amp, that cuts beautifully through music. I have never listened to Harbeth speakers but they have a very good reputation. So yes, you should have a revealing enough system. BTW, Accuphase stands for accurate phase, which means that they try to build electronics which retain time/phase coherency. So in principle you want speakers, cables and good noise isolation of your electronic to enhance the musicality of your system.

CDs seem to go out of fashion and still Accuphase is sticking mainly to their CD players as a source. They make it easy for us now to also use streaming services but they still have not released a streamer.

@mblssmp2 thx. I had a look into the players from Accuphase. Budget wise the 430 or wait a bit longer and go for 560? I have no sacd at this moment. I do not listen very often to classical music. A little bit to opera but very commercial eg Caruso nesun dorma etc

Accuphase does not have any streamers in their programme.
dCS Bartok is streamer and DAC in one box.

@meltemi thx yes I know, still in doubt going full streaming or back to cd playing.
Didn’t had the change to really compare the 2 which is better?

I would say the E650 deserves the DP-560. Don't worry about SACDs. This is not really the main point about the DP-560. I also only have very few SACDs as I buy CDs based on how good the interpretation is and not if it is SACD or not. I first intended to buy the DP-430, which is of course also an excellent CD player but then I compared it to the DP-560 and decided to wait 6 months to save up for longer. During that time I only had the MELCO streamer and a Chord Mojo DAC, which I had once bought for when I am on the road. When the DP-560 arrived I thought I might sometimes use the MELCO connected to the DP-560 for streaming music I had purchased through download, but even the high res files played in this way did not give me the same pleasure as listening to the same album on CD. So now the MELCO is just used for TIDAL, which is a complete overkill and not used much.

I'm doing something similar. I ordered a DP-430 for my CD collection that has been sitting in boxes. I will also use it as a DAC to stream Roon. Keep mind if you do go with a 430 or 560, you will still need to stream to it via a computer or other streamer. In my case I have a Roon ready streamer handling these duties.

@paltomare thx for reply. Did you compared 430 vs 560?

No, I do not have a local dealer with both units to demo. Regardless, I don't have any SACDs nor the budget for a 560, both my Accuphase and McIntosh systems are recently purchased so I'm out of funds for a while.

I also plan to run a separate DAC from my streamer which I will upgrade/replace as DAC technology evolves. The 430 will let me enjoy my currenty CDs and the occasional new one.

Thx everyone for the reply. I will start new thread dp430 vs dp560.
