Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four

ooops
Redbook CDs

consider the audio research cd3. it does everything right as far as i can tell.

Of your shortlist, i would go with the Accuphase 75V. Ive owned the AA Capitole MkII and auditionned at length the EMC1. While they both are fantastic players, i preferred the Accuphase in all areas. But if i were you, i would wait a while until i could afford the DP-77 and get SACD as a bonus as well as redbook playback which is as good if not better than the 75-V.

Cheers

I don't know how anyone can reliably say what's best without knowing what the rest of your system is.
