Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim?

I onws a CDSE se and DC2 se, but I as I don´t have not one SACD disc, I want to buy one only CD player, I has heard Naim 555, very very good, also the same for MBL, but not heard new Nagra, and it seems that the Reimyo is not made more. I will be pleased to know which are your options if money is not object. Also I heard tha Horch from Germany is very good, but it´s imposible to hear. Thanks

I have the new Accustic Arts Dac mk IV and Drive One mk II. It is the best digital I have heard, but I have yet to hear the new Exemplar/Shanling T100 or the Esoteric P3/D3 combo. As always with digital, there will be something new tomorrow.

I do have many sacds and miss them so I am going to have to look into a sacd player.

You can also include Metronome Technologie CD4 or T2i signature in this price range : they seemed to be better than EMM combo on DC's, sound like vinyl, and are not tubey like Audioaro can be !

DCS is "digital sounding" if you don't buy the full verdi + verrona + elgar plus

Esoteric is to analytical, and not enough musical - for me

Try to listen to MBL 1621/1611 or the smaller 1521/1511 combos. Personally I think that's all one can ask for, but that's me. I've never heard anything as natural as the 1621/1611 combo, it's almost scary sometimes.

I am really happy with the Reimyo 777, pretty close to my analog rig.
