Best CD player under $2000

I have enough cd’s to justify a new or newer one, just not home through the week to invest in streaming. Current player is a Myryad Z-122 nice little unit that has served me well. Using a Jolida FX Glass Tube DAC at the moment.

Oppo 203 or if your lucky 205 in your price range used, the best!

I have no experience with the player, but given the manufacturer and its reputation, I would check out the Denafrips Avatar.  They have bought thousands of the CD laser mechanism, just in case the transport mechanism fails.  Around $1700.

+1 yakbob: The Yamaha S2100 SACD/CD player is an amazing player, and renders quality mastered SACD's with perfection. Added plus: I use a Wireworld optical cable from my Bluenode 2i streamer to the Yamaha DAC, with Tidal MQA as the streaming source, and the results are astonishing.  Now if you don't need/want to render SACD's, then my prior experience points to Rotel, and perhaps Rega Apollo.  Enjoy the hunt!
