Musical Fidelity M6CD is lovely. Relatively neutral. Good separation as MF is well known for producing a good DAC. Was just looking in the distributors system and am not seeing it and believe it has been discontinued. So, hopefully someone has stock still.
I like the Canor CD players as both have a tube input stage. Good, engaging sound. The 1.10 has a lovely 24Bit DAC and great caps. The 2.10 has a 32bit DAC but doesn't have the quite the same build, thus why it is a bit less expensive despite the newer DAC. Delivery time on these is usually 4-6 weeks.
Another good option would be Naim. The CDx2 is brilliant but not inexpensive at $6500 and unless a retailer has stock, is out-of-stock with ne delivery date anytime soon. There is a less expensive CD5si for $1690.
