Looking for a CD Player

@hasmarto 

"Now you’re trying to draw me into an SACD vs. CD argument".

Far from it, this is a question the OP posed.  Surely no audiophile can deny the sonic benefits of SACD over CD.

I have looked up your system and I can see no SACD player there.  Of course, you might play SACDs on a CD player, when they revert to being, well, CDs.  If they are about the same price as CDs, what is the disincentive.

Many years ago, the English comedian John Cleese was asked about the differences between the US and Britain.  He said there are three things:

1. We speak English
2. When we have a world series, we invite other countries
3. When we meet our head of state, we only have to go down on one knee

As I mentioned, I am not interested in your assumptions or insinuations. Additionally, it seems you have a reading or comprehension issue. Review my listed equipment, and in the picture, it is on the right side of the lower shelf, beneath the streamer. Our conversation has reached its conclusion.

The only thing you list that comes close is an Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP CDP which as far as I know is a CD player, pure and simple.

When I comment here, I try to explain my reasoning so there can be a sensible debate.

If you are not interested, stop commenting.

Just a side note to the OP. It’s never been easier or more affordable to try streaming. Streaming audio is a joy in terms of selection of artists, convenience and hi-fidelity. The WiiM Pro is now at $263 and some change for Black Friday on Amazon. Room correction, touchscreen and it can connect directly to your app. If it doesn’t work out, send it back to Amazon. Easy breezy… food for thought.

Finally, you’ve done what I was asking from the beginning, instead of pushing your ego-driven word-salad.

And, just for you, I’ve added a close-up picture of the unit.
