I have the Capitol Reference modded with Jupiter copper foil caps and Mullard tubes... best digital sound I've ever experienced. Too bad they don't make them any longer. If I had to buy another CDP, I'd look at Luxman.

I have ow and I’m very impressed with its sound and tonal balance. https://sparkleraudio.eu/en/products/s503-spiral
