The best CD Player for the money

Zman? So what is your take on digiitized music? And do you go for what "sounds good" or accuracy to the producers output? NAIM has to be thei most in inaccurate system adopted by some high end enthusiasts. Look at the specs. There is no way a NAIM product will send the producers cut ho your ears .....NEXT!

Looks like we have a new courtyard jester. Welcome!

I'm with Milpai, that was an interesting first post from Audiogon28221 and I find myself in agreement with some points. It is possible to get great sound from a $150 CD player, assuming of course the rest of the system is in order and there are some simply awesome 90's AAD recordings out there. Yes, they may not be as quiet as DDD recordings, nor have quite the same dynamic range as an SACD - but they seem to make up for it in body, life and vitality.

Kiwi,
A friend of mine has the excellent sounding Modwright OPPO-95 CD/SACD player.His system is VAC preamp,Phi 300,1 monos and Siltech cables. Lately we`ve been compararing a number of same recordings(jazz) in Cd vs SACD format.Many of the AAD or ADD redbook do sound better in the sense of more natural and realistic.A few SACDs were better but most just seem more 'hifi' in presentation.I agree with your impressions.
Regards,

Oppo BDP-95. Outstanding performance for less than $ 1000.00
