CD player suggestions...


I'm in the market for a new CD player in the $600  - $800 range. Suggestions?

check this out, ask seller to verify it finds SACDs

 

sony’s are slow to load, just be patient

IOW, get started for next to nothing and keep your eye out for a great deal on a better one.

btw, I just bought a similar unit for a friend for $15. at a rummage sale. his particular model does not play SACD, but it does play copies of cds which he needs. I am guessing this unit plays copies.

I had one. It was fantastic, but I sold it to upgrade to their 2 box unit (I forget the model), but it had mega issues and could not get it repaired as the company went bust. So buyer beware.

Yamaha, Rotel, or Cambridge CXC with Schiit Bifrost 2. Stretch the budget for that Cambridge with a Danafrips Aries II

While I will buy electronics without moving parts. I stay away from buying used with mechanical components. The only electronics I have ever had to repair were CD players.

I'm very happy with my Audiolab CDT 6000. Big upgrade over my Marantz 6007. Caveat, it is a transport only. A capable DAC is required to use it.
