CD Player Recommendations for Dynaudio speakers

I presently have a Meridian G08 player now 9 years old. When I eventually have an issue and need to repair, I assume it might be difficult as Meridian seems to be moving away from CD players.
Any recommendations for something that would mate well with Dynaudio C1 signatures and Ayre electronics, JPS Labs cabling.

Right now I am thinking Esoteric or Luxman. Any thoughts?

Why not another Meridian? I have owned the 808.2 and now the 808.3, they are superb!

I use mhdt DACs with my Dynaudios and like this combo a lot.
mhdt Constantine sounds fantastic. Paradisea with NOS Tung
Sol Tube tweak is also top notch. GOtta say I prefer SS
source over tube with Dynaudio.

I like my Marantz SA-15S2b and think it would work for you. Try someone like Music Direct with a 30 day return policy and see if it floats your boat.:-)

All the best,

I enjoyed my Ayre C-5xe MP with CJ tube gear and Dyn C-1 ii's. Recently traded the Ayre with other gear to get the cj GAT. For just red book cd, I use a McCormack transport with a SMc Ultra DAC; it is killer and easily matched the Ayre on SACD. If you can find a used McCormack DAC, Steve will upgrade it to Ultra DAC status for $1700. Good luck!

I have the C1 signatures with a Jeff Roland integrated, and ARC CD 9. This is a tube based player and I'm delighted with the results.

Warm,detailed highly musical sonics. Can sit for hours on end listening to all types of great music. Also use as a DAC with great results.
