Looking for a CD Player

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

Anyone know about this unit with a ModWright Mod, tubes ....

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.

We're senior age, too.  We got tired of albums and CD players, so we went with streaming all the way, and we love it.  We've never been happier!!!!  I understand you opted not to stream your music.  Just my 2 cents.  Good luck on your CD player search.  Happy listening.

The cost of streaming??

Not computer or phone savvy - so all help is better for this OLD MAN.
