Best CD player directly to Amp?

The Resolution Audio stuff is so good. It is every bit as good as all the fine players listed above. They (Resolution
Audio) turn out that quality @$3000 new. I'll put up the Resolution Audio stuff to ANY player out their sonically.
I'm anxious to try the new Opus 21.

Try the new Wadia 301 cd-player. Very similar performance to the Wadia 861 but at half it's retail price.

I have my Wadia 7 + 9 combo connect directly to the amps. I think I am set for the next ten, twenty years. No more spending money on Audio equiptments !!! not even a tweak. Lucky me :-)

I recently put the Resolution Audio Opus 21 up against the Wadia 301 for a long home trial. The Resolution Audio Opus 21 won in most every category except, a) sense of slam and authority, and b) tank like build quality (including its huge size). In the categories that mattered most to me, like clarity, lack of digititus, soundstage, articulation of each instrument, etc., the Opus 21 won the day. I have also compared it to the $4,500 Naim player and the Older Theta gear. All are bested by the Opus 21.
