the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?

Audio Aero Capitol Reference SE

The most musical CD player i have ever ever heard

Teddy Bear, I have only compared the Gamut CD3 extensively with the Eyre, and there was no real comparison. I lived with both for weeks, and the CD3 was clearly superior. Thats why I put it forward here, as others have mentioned the Eyre. One thing I do know is that it needs lots of running in to lose that slightly lean/metal sound out the box, and interconnects are important.
I dont know the Cary. Is it in the same price range?
The one I would be most interested in doing an A/B comparison with is the Esoteric X01D2, but that is in another price bracket.

CARY is 8000USD. Gamut CD3 had 500 hours on it

Reviewers gear is the cure for the weak, insecure minds.IMO

There is no such a thing as "The perfect component".
And it definitely doesn't mean it will work with ones' system synergistically and fit the personal preferences criteria.

That is why auditioning gear for yourself and in your own system is the ONLY way to determine if the particular component is in fact the one for YOU.
