Best CD Player - Opinions?

I currently have a Wadia 850 CD player within a dual Home Theater / Audio system. I'm looking to upgrade and contemplating the Wadia 850, EMC-1, Levinson or Krell 28kps CD players. What opinions do you have on the best CD player I can pick? Thanks for the help.

You should ad the Audio Aero,the Mephisto II and Accuphase 75v which in my opinion are better than any you have on your list,though in some cases more money.

From your list, i'd definitely go with the Wadia player.
If i were to put (again) 3k in a CD Player today, it would definitely be in an EMC1 Mk II or a Audio Aero.

An Audio Research CD-3 is probably the best there is with
the CD-2 used being the best bargain in the industry.

I have exactly the same considerations: upgrading from a WADIA 850. The bottom line of all information I could get was: WADIA 270/27ix or Capitole. If you love the WADIA sound go for the WADIA combo. I will....
Good luck!

a list of "the best" one-box cdp's isn't complete without the addition of the burmester cdp-001. it uses a belt-drive on a top-grade (consumer) phillips transport and an upsampling dac. if you like german design, build quality and sound, the 001 definitely deserves an audition. -cfb
