You guys! The question asks, "... For the money?" I'm sure the Ayre or the Shigaraki, or the Wadia etc. are great cd players, but for the money? IMO the law of diminishing returns starts early in digital playback.
And there follows the well-known rule of thumb for the best for the money CD player:

Used CD player has usually more deminishing return than the new one.

Cheers!

I don't understand this statement. Do you mean that a used CD player is not as good as a new one?
