CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?

I used to like thick and warm, lately I’m looking for a balanced, nice punch but airy, realistic and natural, musical one, letting the Diesis Ludos shine, already got a Class A hybrid Amp from them with good body and naturalness, also the R2R La Scala MKII (also with couple of small tubes).

Tastes: Jazz, Bossanova, Soul, Funk, Flamenco, Folk, Classical and Reggae, and when in the mood classic 60/70’s rock.

Thanks for recommendations, gonna have a look!

PS: what is the benefit nowadays using CD’s instead of a nice DAC/Streamer combo?

Look for a  Teak pd-H600 if you want black, incredibly well-built and out performs well above its original MSRP. No bells and whistles just exceptional quality and performance, in a nice size solid package. Arguably The best Teak made.

Thanks for the recommendation, at the end I want the most analog sound coming from digital source!

I have 2 systems, and have an Audiolab 9000CDT on both. Great transfer unit.

Both good/great is done right BUT the selection with streaming is astounding. Go to a show or shop and check it out. Lot's of good used stuff for starter streamers or higher end steamers always around.  

The "benefit" of CDs is that you don't need the internet and a cleaned up ethernet chain. Less parts are needed too.

Sonically, with both done right, there's scant difference if any. High end flac files (steamed) are tops.

My CD's are in a closet and CD player is too. Both are kept in case the internet blacks out for days.
