Thanks for all your input.
I’ve had Arcam FMJ CD23 and now I use Sony ES DVP-NS999ES.
Arcam didn’t sound noticeably better than Sony and I needed an SACD player, so Arcam is long gone. In direct comparison, to my ears on my system, OPPO 103D sounds a tad better than Sony.
I bought OPPO for my home theater setup, and its picture quality and 5 channel surround sound is much better than my Yamaha BlueRay player (at sub $200), and I’m happy with it.
If OPPO 95 does indeed sound better than 103D, I would seriously consider to go for a used 95, which appears to be the best bet.
Anyhow, for CD and SACD sound quality, which CD/SACD players (under $2000 used) will be noticeably better than OPPO 95? My main listening is on Classicals and Acoustic Jazz, with some rocks and pops.
My main stereo system is Plinius SA102, Plinius M16P, and Apogee Diva and Tyler Linbrook speakers.
Analog is Garrard 301/Ortofon RMG 309/Ortofon Gold SPU and Clear Audio Emotion/Satisfy Tonearm/Ortofon low MC cartridge.
