CD player with best dynamics?

Who do you think makes the CD player with the best dynamics (without being harsh) under $7K? I've been shopping for a new player and have noticed this is an area of wide variablility among players.

I find the interconnects play a big role after you get everything else right. Remember that the CD technology and the devices are limited digitally so you need to rely on the internal PS and the accessories.

The Wadia is even better with imaging but it's also almost double the price... Everyone seems to be in love with the Audio Aero Capitole (which I didn't audition) but I don't know if it's a CDP that delivers a very dynamic sound... Regards

Unbelievable music coming from this unit. With the extra 2k you were planning on spending you could buy a few CD's.
