Need recommendation for a CD player

a Parasound cd player?

Outside of price - do you want to play SACDs?  That's an important consideration.  

The new Parasound CD player looks impressive.   Or you could save a ton and buy a good universal player like the OPPO 105.   I use an OPPO 103d with my DAC in a 2.1 system and it's great to be able to listen to any format including Blu-ray audio and movies.....plus I have a 2TB hard drive with all my music that I can access through the player....I wouldn't have it any other way now.   

I purchased my last cd/sacd player and it is an Esoteric.  I did it mainly for the very robust build quality and that they will be able to service the player if need be for years and perhaps decades to come.
