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.

A Meridian 808 has a more natural sound. A lot more weight and control in the low freq. Also it gives more texture and resolution comparred to a ML 390. And it has a better individual focus and more depth.

I am very happy with my Unidisk 1.1.

The 1.1 is a great player...But when you revisit the market to buy a new front end, it most likely won't be a CD player.

Jim, thats a great player...But when you move into buying another player consider a USB (or whatever interface) DAC.

Jc51373, which Ayre player did you have when comparing your Mac combo to it? What differences were there in the two units?
