Entry CD player question?


If you look at my system you'll see what I have to help me decide on a CD player.

I can't help wonder about my stereo receiver's matching Rotel RCD1072 single disc player, instead of the Marantz which was the top 5 disc player at the time. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Much appreciated,

I looked at your system and agree that it was well assembled. But with that beautiful Thorens, why do you feel the need for a CD player? Or would it be something your wife would feel more comfortable using?

The Audiolab 6000CDT is a great transport for the money $450, but does require an outboard DAC as it is a transport only

I have a marantz cd6004 and it has served me well. My components are comparable to yours, I doubt you would see a decisive difference. 

The big one I noticed is resale value, Rotels go for about 50% than Marantz CD players. 

Obviously you have an itch, no decent 2 way system should have a multi-disc CD player in it!
