Best CD player under $2000


I have enough cd’s to justify a new or newer one, just not home through the week to invest in streaming. Current player is a Myryad Z-122 nice little unit that has served me well. Using a Jolida FX Glass Tube DAC at the moment.

Are you keeping your Jolida DAC? If so are you more interested in a CD transport e.g.  Audiolab CDT 6000, Cambridge Audio CXC transport, Denafrips Avatar versus needing a CD player
Oppo makes a REALLY good CD player in your price range. Be sure to also purchase a green marker to color the edges of your CD’s!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you look for a while, you can probably find a used Bryston BCD-3 for close to that.  Excellent buy, because you have the best after-market support from Bryston.

Otherwise look for a Marantz SA-11S3.

I concur with member two left ears that you should look for a Marantz SA-11S3 player.  Sounds incredible smooth and dynamic. The build quality at 40 pounds is second to none. A great player all around. Used at $2000 is a sure steal.
I would consider the Electrocompanient CDP  they are musical and have a nice sound stage and separation.  Better sounding then what has been mentioned so far IMO.

BTW the weight of a component has nothing to do  with being built like a tank.

Happy Listening.
