Cd player

Hi guys been building a new HI FI system and been waiting on the HI FI Rose 130, but want to light this system up! Lol Whats a really nice cd player that will not be the weak link? I am running mcintosh c2700, Power Q 707,  Mcintosh 611s & B&W 801 N all with high end cables. 

Thanks for all your input Matt

I own a Project RS2T transport. I had to return 2 of them as they did not work( quality control was terrible)  (maybe still is) The third I purchased again from The Music Room. its been a charm so far. It has the stream unlimited  CD Pro 8 mechanism, and the Blue Tiger cd-84 servo system. Very high end units have similar. ($$$$$$) It is the finest I've heard yet, by a WIDE margin. My current DAC is a Bricasti M1 SE. Anyone that owns one (RS2T) will back up my statement.

To answer your question...I think the Marantz CD60 would be an excellent choice

Another vote for the C.E.C. Tl5. Well built, sounds great and an excellent value.

If you can find a California Audio Labs Icon II, especially with the Boss transformer upgrade BUY IT. I have had one for years, using it as a transport with a HIFI tuning fuse and a Puritan Audio AC cord. These units are bullet proof. Built like tanks with military grade circuit boards. Pure joy from the golden age of American high end audio. Like new condition units can be found for less than a grand. Nothing to think about and something different....
