CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better?


I was looking to upgrade my CD-player and my budget is limited to $1100.

So far, researching, I found out three players that worth considering:
- Marantz SA-17 S1
- Arcam CD23
- Unison Research Unico

Can I do any better for $1100? Cary 308T for instance?

TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V:

I bought my store demo for $150 and gave TRL $550 for their mod.

(That leaves $400 for software and XtremeAV's new Quicksilver Gold)

And, yes, I agree with the statements made by Ecruz above.

Happy New Year!

"I listened to the SB2s as modified by Red Wine Audio and Bolder Cable. Analog to DAC"

Clio09, if you did listen to both of the moded units as a digital feed to an external DAC can you give me your impression as to which you preferred, and why? If you think we're getting too far OT please respond via email.
