new cd player or old


Hi-I am trying to upgrade the sound of my cd source from a horrible old toshiba dvd player-I have about $300-500 to spend. What gives better sound-a quality used cd player from 10 years ago, or a new NAD player? Thanks.

Why does it have to be as far back as 10 years ?

There are some respectable cd players that are in your price range ( Jolida JD 100 is one example ) and isnt 10 years old.

go for the sony 595 as a refurb from sonystyle for about $60. if you don't like it they will come and get it. check it out as it is one of the best units available often beating $2K units.
