what cd player ?

    Bought 2 of these for friends, tough to beat for the $

Rega Apollo. Marantz CD60.  Rotel CD11 Tribute. 

Over the decades I have owned many players and transport/dacs, several in the $4K range

Pro-Ject makes CD 3 player that has Coax out in case you ever decide to try a dac, but from what Ive been told it is a VG player: MSRP $549

I have a Audiolab CDT6000 transport with an Audio Alchemy dac/pre. I think many who are not impressed simply failed to consider high quality ancillaries. The 6000 responds extremely well to better power cord, coax cable, and isolation/vibration devices

I bought a Emotiva ERC-4 to replace a old MH cdp.  It has inputs for a digital signal if you want to use it for streaming.  Built like a tank, around $600 new.  Great sound
