The old time JVC XL-Z1050TN, which runs about $125-175 routinely, has continued to surprise me with its fine performance for the money as a CDP, and as a transport, with full remote control facilities. Solid build quality is evident when you lift this component.
Even has an enjoyable headphone output, until later upgrading to an outboard headphone amp, which offers excellent private listening, provided the interconnects are of high enough quality.
A bargain hunter's dream, delightfully free of any digital listener fatigue, despite its vintage status. Maybe, not the best, but worth bringing to attention of those on a budget.
