CD Player for around 3500?

There are no objective reviews in high end audio. Only opinions. The only sure way is to listen to all of them :)

My personal preference lies with : Audio Aero Capitole, Bow ZZ-8 and Electrocompaniet EMC1 Mk II.

But then again i havent heard EVERY single CD player.

If i had $3500, i would buy the Audio Aero.

Good luck
Cheers

Think about the Linn Ikemi which I (and many others) think is the best for under 10k. Of course, I am a satisfied Ikemi owner!

If anyone will sell ther DP-75v for $3500(highly unlikely) I would buy it, but reality is those are closer to $7000 used, retail is $11k so its still a fair price. If you could find a used audio aero that would be your best choice in that price range, it may be hard to locate a used AA Capitole, so I would also second the Electrocompaniet as a good solution. I prefer the sound of the DAC in the 75v to the capitole, but it is also a lot more $$$. I have compared them both my good friend has the capitole and I have a DC-300(which shares the DAC with the 75v), both are top of the line units and would be good choices.

Sony Xa777es for $2000 with the Modwright/JenaLabs $1500 Tubed output stage mod !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbeatable.
