Best CD player under $2000

Used Ayre?

I concur with many of the above replies, but I would throw a marker in for the recommendation of any of the Oppo's ending in a 5.  With one big BUT (no pun intended), send it to Ric Shultz at EVS and let him do his magic to it.  He is an artist!

is Ric still working on Oppo's ? I have his modified Oppo Sonica and it's awesome...

Any chance a Dynaco CDV PRO with upgrades could be a nice unit and still have a good run? Or is a 25+- yr. old player not worth the effort?

Sparkler Audio makes a very good sounding nos CD player for about $1700.00. Sparklers designer is from 47 Labs and knows what he is doing. I have had mine for about a year and really like the sound.
