Personal CD player evolution

To take a cue from the previous threads 'amp' & 'speaker' personal evolution, I bid you this question...

for me it was a Hitachi small black box circa 1983, bought from a Luskin's discount electronics store (I think I paid around $250), then...

-Yamaha COX-700U (1985 or so, still in use by my father)
-Carver ? model to match a Carver amp I had at the time
-Rega original Planet
-Cary 303/100
-Cary 306/200

1. Denon circa 1984
2. Pioneer DV 525, then modified
3. Cary 306/200
4. Burmester 001
5. Squeezebox2 -> Reimyo DAP777 (Ver.2)

Now, the latest combination has been modified, including but not limited to, so that they are synched to one precise master clock. I don't think I will even think of upgrading the digital front end for a very very many years to come.

Just got back into the hobby 5 years ago and bought a Meridian 504-20. Right now I am eagerly awaiting the delivery (late June) of an APL 3910.
