The best CD Player for the money

Wadia S7i or Linn CD12.

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.

Hi,

Don't spend your money in a CD Player!
Read my article CD Player? PC Music? Naaa! Flash Memory Music.

And I promise that you will hear MUSIC much, much better than any CD Player, yes, even those who cost's thousands.

Regards

Fmnp, I suggest you listen to a Vitus SCD-010, Esoteric K-01 or Boulder 1021 before claiming Flash player music is the new phenomenon!

Hi Melbguyl,

I don´t need. I know what I'm talking about.
And with the DC/DC Power supply that I've built...
My god. Pure (Digital) Analogic Music.
I'll tell you the something. Listen to my solution before you say something. And if you want I will send to you the circuit for the Power Supply (batteries, you know?!)
Regards
