Looking for a CD Player

I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player.  The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age.  My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them.  Not wanting to purchase streaming music.  Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects -    Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability??  Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00.  All the help would be appreciated.

If you decide that you don't require SACD take a look at this Rotel.

I try to keep up on what's fairly new/good as my CAL deck is pushing 25 years now.

The Rotel is around $1500-$1600 with tax.

We're senior age, too.  We got tired of albums and CD players, so we went with streaming all the way, and we love it.  We've never been happier!!!!  I understand you opted not to stream your music.  Just my 2 cents.  Good luck on your CD player search.  Happy listening.

The cost of streaming??

Not computer or phone savvy - so all help is better for this OLD MAN.

Now that you are tempted by streaming look at a Innuos Zen mini. It will kill two bird’s.
Qobuz is $12.99 a month.
