Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?

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.

IBM x40 notebook-Apogee Rosetta 200. Cd is still cd, and has some brightness and hardness, which makes a difference to LP. But, I digitilise my LPs through the AD converter of Apogee, and that digital recording is practically indistinguishable from the LP, and at the same time very much differs from the "original" "factory made" cd-copy of the same LP.

I've just upgraded to the Esoteric P-05/D-05 and its a keeper!
