I agree with Buconero117 about the Sony SCD-CE595. However you can no longer get it from Sony or any other retailer I have found. However, I did see it on ebay for reasonable prices (none of them are mine, mine is not for sale). I had one, sold it, then bought another one because I missed it. It plays CDs, and multi-channel or 2 channel SACDs and does it very well. There are very positive reviews in several well known internet audio magazines-PFO, 6moons, and enjoy the music, just to name a few. You should read their comments as well. I highly recommend it.
Advice re: Entry level CD Player
I've been putting together my first audio system, and could use some advice. Right now, I have a NAD C325BEE Integrated Amp and Mirage OMD-15's. I'd like a CD Player, and am thinking about getting a NAD under the theory it may match up well with the amp. My budget is about $500, and I don't mind going used. I've noticed a new NAD C545BEE, and also a used Creek Evo....
My listening is eclectic, but not heavy rock or rap. In addition to CDs, I listen to my computer based music via an "iDevice" thru a HRT iStreamer. The plan is eventually to upgrade my computer music to FLAC or AIFF files and get a decent DAC, (which may also service this soon-to-be acquired CD player.
A newb has to start somewhere!!
