I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CD PLAYER AND I DONT KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.WITH SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM I WANT TO PURCHASE SOMETHING GOOD BUT I DONT WANT TO SPEND 10,000 EITHER.
I'll fourth or fifth the Cambridge Audio 840C. Very nice resolution, laid back, and just plain fun in my system. Of course, YMMV.
Also, McIntosh MVP871. Very nice and you get everything but Bluray. And you can get them at relatively bargain prices now (or at least you could a while back).
There are such good DACs in all price ranges, and decent used transports - you get the flexibility of playing both CDs and digital files. IMO it makes less sense these days to go the one-box CDP route. I just got the Metrum Octave which sounds great with the (old!) CAL delta transport, and totals <$1200, hard to beat sound quality at that price.
