Okay......best single box reference CD player

I currently own a CEC TL-1 transport, along with a dcs Delius and Purcell upsampler.....what one box CD player out there can deliver dynamics, transpareny, smoothness and inner detail that will outperform my current set up. Meridian 808....???? Please let me know your thoughts....

Most of the players mentioned are top class and you will probably satisfied with any of them. Put EMM LABS CDSA in your list also.

Another vote for AMR CD-77.

Seeing that you have dCS gear now, you may also want to give the dCS Puccini some consideration.

Another vote for the Playback Designs MPS-5. it is set up to work as a DAC for a music server so is quite future proof. it uses an Esoteric VRDS transport. it is also software upgradable.

here is a link to a review of the MPS-5.
