You might be able to find a Denon DCD-1520 or DCD-1560 for that budget. Maybe also a NAD BEE series for a little more.
Replacement CD on a tight budget?
Hello, all,
After some time away from audio due to apartment reasons, I finally have some time to reassemble a system. At this point, it consists only of an Audio Refinement Complete Alpha integrated and a pair of Boston Acoustics Bravos, wall mounted. Due to space reasons, I cannot use other speakers or equipment.
In any case, I'd been pairing my Oppo DV-80H with the Alpha and playing with the video stage shut down, but have never had much love for the unit - in terms of video performance in another system (already in for repair once, free), and in terms of audio: this morning, it began not playing redbooks, and also exhibited problems ejecting, forwarding, stopping, powering off, etc: basically everything.
The problem is that my budget is in the $100-$150 range. What's available that I should consider - both used (links to Audiogon adverts would be appreciated) or (ghasp!) new?

Stretch your budget to $200 and look at this Denon 2930 universal player reduced from $850. Vanns has the 1940 for $90. Denon must be introducing new models. Best regards, Rich |
