CD Player Recommendations…

Looking for CD player recommendations that mate well with a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and Revel F30 speakers. Cabling is Discovery Essential speaker cables and matching Essence interconnects. I’m thinking the player should be on the neutral to perhaps slightly recessed/relaxed mids to synergize with the A308 and F30’s more forward characteristics.

Nice! I am always interested in learning about CD/SACD players that I have not auditioned.  I look forward to the next player comparison.
The CD32 was (at that time) a ground-up redesign around a (then new) Sanyo drive/transport mechanism.  MHZS has been out for quite a while now.  I have never read a bad review.

Happy Listening!

@jafant  what are your thoughts on your Ayre, Marantz & Accuphase?

I would have you also look at an "Audiolab 6000CDT" transport. Wonderful clean sounding unit that will challenge much more expensive players. The slot loading mechanism may turn some off though.

Excellent Reference players. The Accuphase is for CD playback.
The AYRE and Marantz are SACD playback. The Marantz is a measure warmer than the AYRE. 

Happy Listening!
