Best sounding CD player

As a further clarification to my earlier post, the Device that made myself give the use of CD a permanent role as a Source in my system is a use of a Bespoke Built Valve DAC, that as part of the design had swap out custom built decoders supplied to offer additional options on tuning the sound to a preference.

The Valves used for a CD circuit idea become attractive after being loaned for extended periods, for use in my system, a few versions of modified CDP's, which were with a design to utilise Valves in various places in the circuit.

From my recollections of all encounters with CD in use, the most attractive to myself and indelible as an experience are those demonstrated with Valves in use.  

My Valve DAC has been Tube Rolled and has a Vintage early 60's Valve as the final selection, having the flexibility to fine tune the sound with easy to exchange components, such as the Valves and Decoders has really made the interaction with the Source a Joy and one that is not such a common option if other circuitry was in use.

Interestingly the EAR Acute is a Valve Circuit CDP, it was very impressive with stock tubes and has found a place of betterment using the same valves I selected as a result of Tube Rolling. 

The supplied info' on the positive impression Valve Circuit CD replay is able to make, is worthwhile noting and if possible, attempting to experience a demonstration, even better if able to be arranged in the home system.   

I had Cary 306sacd on loan from my dealer, and I had two unpleasant surprises. High level of vibrations while playing CD's. When I had extracted CD it was very warm, almost hot to the touch. I had returned it back and I had opted for Marantz SA10-S1 instead. 

The MBL Cadenza is the best sounding player I have heard. Amazingly smooth, detailed, clear and dynamic.  

Second best is my Luxman D05, superb sounding.

The Marantz players are good but still noticeably digital by comparison.

Go with streaming. You'll rip off many more musicians much faster.

This is an embarrassing thread.  DVDgreco asked a pretty specific question and a lot of responses to it were irrelevant and downright insulting.  Stay on topic or create a different thread if you want to talk about something else.
