Best CD Player under 4000 to replace Linn Genki


any opinions on a cd player to replace the Linn Genki. I will be using the MF Nu-vista m3 integrated. Cardas Golden Cross from cd to integrated. Nordost blue heaven speaker cable bi-wired to Nautilus 804 speakers.

I am a Genki owner looking to upgrade also. I am intrigued by SACd as my system is geared towards clarity and openess but I still wonder what the difference is in the good CD only players. My experience has been that digital differences hit diminishing returns very fast.
Sony's new flagship XA777ES with full audiomod.com blackgates + superclock + Richard Kern output stage. $3,600 all-in ($2K for the player and $1,600 for the mod). Well, it's not ready yet .... but when it is .... I think it will challange or surpass the best at Redbook or SACD.
Sorry, Jeff, but I would replace the 804N first! Unless your room somehow makes 'em work well, I found their spectral tilt to be just too weird. The 803N is far better balanced, although it requires a large room to cohere well.
You could probably fair-trade 'em for something with a more natural midrange like the Revel Performa F30 and be satisfied with your Genki. THEN ugrade that later.
Just my skewed opinion....
