Looking for a CD Player
I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player. The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age. My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them. Not wanting to purchase streaming music. Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects - Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability?? Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00. All the help would be appreciated.

My goal was to find something I liked as much as my original Onkyo Integra DX-7500, hoping not to move way up high in price, When I asked here about better CD and SACD sound, OPPO was highly recommended by quite a few members. I tried two Oppo's, nothing special to my ears, that's why I say 'preferred' not necessarily 'better'. I kept going until I settled on my Sony xa5400es. I liked a Marantz's CD sound, but it wouldn't find SACDs, and I wrecked it trying to fix it. I bought mine used from a person not a store, once you narrow down your list, you just need patience to find a lightly used unit from the original owner. I see nothing but stores with the Sony at the moment. Here's a DX-7500, everyone liked it here like they do the current xa5400. SACD's didn't exist back then

If you decide that you don't require SACD take a look at this Rotel. I try to keep up on what's fairly new/good as my CAL deck is pushing 25 years now. The Rotel is around $1500-$1600 with tax. https://www.rotel.com/product/rcd-1572mkii
