What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?

I am looking for the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K that will project a 3 dimensional hologram-like sound image. I am considering the Mark Levinson 390S CD player. I am open for suggestions concerning comparisons between this and other CD players of equal or better sound quality. Universal players are out of the running since I own only redbook CDs. The fickle finger of fate has not made up it's mind about the next generation of media technology. So until then I will be patient and enjoy what I have.

Hi Guido ,thank you for all of your suggestions and constructive criticisms. I value the opportunity to fine tune the Apl Hi Fi operation and I take all input seriously.

Hey Redwoodgarden, any news? How did the search end?
Or is it still work in progress? Just curious what was your choice or what did you like out of the units you auditioned.

I suggest to give the ARC CD-7 a listen before you buy in this price range!
This player is very musical without any digital harshness, very good 3d soundstage and it reproduces the human voice natural and engaging!
It is my favourite cdp at this time and i use it with outstanding belles 28a pre and two belles 350 A Reference monoblocks, speakers are SPTech Revelations MKII.
A comparison between CD7 and EMMLabs would be interesting, i couldn´t do that at my home untill now but would be very interested in arguments from people who compared both directly in one session!
Enjoy music and take care,
Ralph
