What features should a good CD player have?


I currently own a Jolida 100cdp, what features should I evaluate in upgrading? By features I don't mean remote control, but, internal components and/or capabilities.

My price is under 1,500, are there any models that would be recommended?

I would go for unit with the separate DAC input......if the transport stops to be the future.....you will stil have the sound from your DAC and you will run the computer as transport.
solid, reliable and available transport mechanism - Phillips CDM-Pro2 for example - those drives last a LONG time

analog volume control if you only use CD as a source - in some systems bypassing a preamp is a HUGE plus

also agree on the digital input feature
If your buying decision is based on features and specs you will be disappointed with your purchase.
