Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ?

Whats the best cd player , in that general price range, where I would be using the digital out, bypassing the cd player's da converters . Speakers are Legacy Sig III's , amp Classe 301, musical taste jazz, blues, rock, preference clear warm liquid sound. Thanks.

Suggest you try a Sony SCD-C555ES changer. I paid $600 new with a rite of return. I much preferred it over the Warren Modified Aiwa changer and it challenges my Parasound CBD-2000, which is also a good transport. Take the money you would save and invest in a good jitter reduction device and cables.

I prefer the sound of my old dac (Micromega Duo BS 2) to the analog out of the Sony SCD-C555ES. I use the Sony as a transport as I need a changer. The Sony feeds an AA DTI Pro. All cables are Harmonic Tech. The Micromega had a little more "body" to it. The Sony may not have been completely broken in when I compared them.
