Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?

At the moment, I don't have a CD player hooked up. When I do listen to CD (which is rare--I'm guessing it's at least a month since I played one!) I use a portable CD player and Grado SR 60 headphones. My portables are mostly older--the best is probably a 1989 Sony (made before it became a priority to get five hundred hours of run time from a single AAA battery.) This doesn't give me the best sound I can get from CD. But, it works, and it's better in many ways than what I've heard in my system with the "real" CD players (all of which were, ah, modestly priced) I've had over the years.

I sometimes think of getting a better CD player. But, then, those players would take money from the analog budget. And we certainly can't have that. Can we?

Correction - I now use Reimyo.. but still stick to Accuphase as another good option.

My digital front end consists of a 47 labs Flatfish mk2 -> Apogee Digital BigBen (clock) -> Zanden 5000 mk3 dac. All is connected using Siltech G6 Golden Ridge digital wire.

I have no desire to look for a new digital front end. For Redbook CDs, this setup for me really stands out. There is a 'flow' of music that most digital front ends are missing. Hard to describe, but you know it when you hear it.

I have not listened to the EMM labs gear. I'm sure thats first rate as well.

The first cd player that changed my mind about digital being music was an APL Denon 3910(lower-cost one). Currently, I use the APL's transport with an Oritek OMZ DAC(It's a combined preamp and DAC.).

Zanden's Signature DAC with Zanden Transport (i2s connection) and Metronome's Kalista Transports.
