Great musical CDP?

Audphile1, have you heard the new CD5?

Thanks for all the replies.

Meridian G08 new or 808 used

Second AMR CD-77
also
Isabellina (Red Wine Audio)non-upsampling, non-oversampling DAC (it also features USB "in" which is excelent with Macbook as the source that rivals megabucks transports and CDPs. Read the latest review about Isabella pre/dac by Ebean Srajan in 6moons. Bluemoon award for "Analogue density and superb usb dac performance" ) at $2500 new with generouse return policy.
I own the Isabella preamp with Isabellina DAC build in and love it. If you can NOT afford AMR-CD 77, you have to try this DAC. No need for expensive transport either. I tried it with my Droplet CDP as transport as well as few cheap CDPs (Sony, Pioneer) and my old iMac computer.

No, I haven't heard the CD5.
I have owned the CD3MkII for 2 years though, and loved it. I think it is one of the best CD players in that price range. Still is.
I listen to the same type of music as you do. Classical music was reproduced in full glory by CD3MkII. With the ARC players you need to run them balanced to get maximum performance.
Based on how good the CD3MkII was, I think we can make a safe assumption that the CD5 is a safe bet.
