Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four

I just added a Superclock II to my Marantz SA-1...WOW!!
Best CD player I have ever heard, and I have been in audio for a long time.
Cheers,

You need to also put the Ayre CX-7 on your shortlist and perhaps IMHO, remove the Electro.

i would also add a marantz to the list.

i havent heard better redbook playback on any cdp to date plus it has sacd.

I love the EMC-1 and have one. Plus I just purchased a Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD player to replace a Marantz SA-14 SACD player, which wasn't all that great on redbook. The Opus 21 is a very dynamic CD player and should be great with rock and pop and jazz. Musical instruments sound natural too on the Opus 21 (and on the EMC-1).
