I agree with Yeast107. New is not necessarily better. I don't have near his first hand experience with cd players but would like to contribute this. I use a Wadia 6. This cd player is 8 years old. Built like a tank. Teac VRDS transport, 20bit, 32 times oversample rate. Sounds incredible IMO. Can be a little forward direct to amp on some older recordings. But on music that is recorded well and these recent remasters, it blows me away. My advice, buy an older cd player manufactured by one of the established big name companies (Meridian, Levinson, Wadia, etc). Look for one that was near or top of the line in its' time and is upgradable. Listen to it and enjoy! If you don't like the sound have it upgraded by manufacturer or the cd player upgrade genius everybody raves about(I forget his name). Or use it as a transport and add a modern DAC This is the way I approached my cd player purchase.
