Best CD player now made.

I am interested in getting the best CD player out there as one of my digital sources. I have a few candidates but I wanted some other opinions. Any suggestions on the Sony's top player or Mark Levinson, or even the BAT tubed affair. I realise the Transport and the DAC might be superior but I wanted to stay below 5 digits. Thanks,

if below US$10,000....(not sure exactly about the price pts) I would recommend Reimyo, the new dCS P8i, Aero Capital Mk2 with the upgrades, and Wadia 861. Personally for just redbook among the above Reimyo was the best for me.

Jthayer,
I have previous top ALPHA model Arcam 6 (1996) and to my dismay it easly outperformed my new SONY SACD (9000ES), Arcam's are a good deal. They are so musical.

I like the Arcam cd33,its very clean sounding,amd after listening to for a few weeks I feel if you dont have decent stuff around it you wont hear how good it can sound at all.Very transparent.

Any Accuphase CD player.

Open, Musical with natural detail. Good as analog. I own analog also and this is one of the few CD players I could listen to for a long period of time.
