Wich high end CD palyer?


I want to buy a new CD palyer to replace my Meridian G 08, I already tested the Meridian 808,wich I found excellent.

I would like to receive suggestions about what else I should listen to.

The budget is up to 12.000 euros ($ 14 K), even if I could go higer in case it is worthwhile.

I live in Europe then we should stick to products available here.

Thank you

maybe I'm wrong, but i think how people who can get 12.000 euros of spare cash on CD player alone are not visiting any forum. they either don't have enough time for this because they're making money, and at the same time they don't have enough time to listening music, let alone asking questions about upgrades.

so, you're on your own, rich boy!

if i get that kind of money, i will know what to do: call some high end dealer, tell him my musical tastes (i'm busy making money, you know), let him to setup things, and slap him in the face with my 10.000 dollars smoking pipe if i'm not satisfied with system performance....
IMO, ALOIA 11.01 CDP from Italy makes for a crazy good transport ($2500)- combine that with a SCOTT NIXON DAC and you're set...... good luck, brent
From what I understand you should listen to the new Esoteric UX-1 Limited edition, their audio only unit.
