Need recommendation for a CD player

I also recommend the Sony 5400ES.
Its a great sounding CD player.  
I'v been using it for 3 years now. 
You'll see them on Audiogon and Ebay.
My friend had an interesting combo.
He's using the Musical fidelity Tri vista 21 tube dac and a Pioneer Elite DV-09 DVD CD player as a transport.  This was Pioneer's top of the line DVD CD player in the late 90s. Its so built. Its a really good transport. 
This Musical Fidelity, Pioneer Elite combo sounds great.  The Musical Fidelity has a nice tube sound to it.   The Pioneer DV-09 only plays CDs. It wont play CDRs.
My friend also has a Pioneer Elite DV-37 DVD CD player which is also really built and makes a very good transport.  The DV-37 plays everything.  CDR's, MP3s etc. 

Pioneer Elite is a keeper- well and sometimes, overbuilt.
Happy Listening!

Sony ES as well. 

Maranz is nice but for the SA-113 price you can find a used SA-1 or SA7. These are some of the very best digital players at any price. And yes I have tried and owned a lot of different digital players.

What did you decide- ericruff ?
