Best CD player now made.

I have noot heard all of these but they are worth mentioning if you are going to consider big buck players:

Meridian: 808, G08
Audio Aero: Capitole-II
Reimyo 777

The BAT D5SE is now available with the SUPERPAK upgrade, which adds further capacitance above the standare SE SIXPAK upgrade.
So far, in my listening, I have noticed deeper and tighter bass and more dynamics. It is still in the break-in process.

Give the Aloia a try. It smokes a lot mentioned here. It also allows for two digital inputs for other digital sources. Digital output, RS232 for upgrades and 12 volt switch on. It also has a tuner module as an option. It uses inductive power supply and does upsampling. 8007524018

I just wish that those who stated "the best that I've heard" identify specifically what they have heard. Otherwise it sounds like joke. I would also be very interested in particularities. For example: "best” because it has more energy or more musical or more details or more transparent etc. The most fare way to respond would be to say - in my system which consist of so and so I prefer this player because it sounds more transparent, musical, dynamic, etc then so an so which I have heard before in my system.
I'm always wondering how people could say what is "the best" even in the same system. For a year or so I'm playing with two very well known DACs in the same system which I own, to the point when gold on the connectors begin to show ware of, and I still wouldn't be able to say that one of them is "the best” from those two or even that one is better then another. Each of them has pros and cons, plus it also depends on what CD you play at the moment. So, what is it all about?

if below US$10,000....(not sure exactly about the price pts) I would recommend Reimyo, the new dCS P8i, Aero Capital Mk2 with the upgrades, and Wadia 861. Personally for just redbook among the above Reimyo was the best for me.
