Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar

Can anyone compare these CD players? Am looking to buy a new or used for $1500 or less. I know that the Jolida or the Shanling can be bought new in this range but have heard of reliabilty problems with Jolida. Maybe the new one is OK. I would be willing to go with tube if it sounds right but Cary's pricey ones are SS. People do rave about their sound and this is what I'm after. I still prefer the sound of vinyl but CD's are sounding better as I upgrade my system. Any incite would be appreciated. Thanks,
Bill

Nope but see Muralmans SACD response. It seems that most audiophiles are not fond of it yet. I will opt for a cheaper but more pleasing sound. The Jolida seems to be getting alot of attention.

What do you mean most audiphiles are not fond of it? Just because one person makes a statement does not mean it is true for all (or even most) audiophiles. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most that have given SACD a fair shake usually agree that it is the closest to analog that digital playback has achieved (in addition to some wonderfull Redbook players available). I strongly disagree with his opinion on SACD (although he is certainly entitled to it).

The Jolida is a great player, but you can get even better Redbook playback with the Xindak, and have SACD capability also.
