Recommend CD player


Recently, I just listen to the combination of the CEC TL1 + Sonic Frontier SFD-2 MkII. The sound was supreme, very smooth and has a very dept sounstage revealed layer by layer. The price for the used combo is around $3000. However, I was thinking that the combo is old now(almost 7-8 years technology)and we should try something new for today. Has anyone here has any suggestion on what CD that has the sound characteristic like this or better?

Thank in advance for any opinion.

Audio Aero Capitol 2 probably has everything your looking for and more bass also
Another choice is the Esoteric DV 50. Gives you SACD, DVD-A and DVD as well. Might not be quite up to the Audio Aero on Redbook, but not that far behind. Little higher than your 3k...seen them used for $3600-$4000.
I've been waiting untill I can afford a used Parasound Ultra 2000 which was made by CEC. I have a relatively new Arcam DV-89 which does a terrific job w/ CD's and DVD-A.
