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.

@smerk I'm happy that you found what you needed to enjoy what you have. I'm kind of in the same boat in realizing what I actually need to be happy and wish I arrived at this moment some time ago. Have the happiest of holidays, you and your wife. 

All the best,
Nonoise

What surprising and refreshing insight you have written here. I am in agreement with you. Happy listening. BTW you are right, try to bring joy to others this season ( like your wife). That is what Christmas is all about.

I would go for the Rega Saturn MkIII, it has all the qualities a good CD player should possess: quality, sound and features… Oh and looks in my opinion.
