The Sony 608esd is a very good choice. I had someone that really wanted to buy mine once before I had even heard it.
So I plugged it in and compared it to a $2500 streamer / player hooked to a $5000.00 dac. First I ripped the cd to a flac file to compare. Me or my wife could not tell the difference when playing the same songs. I was so surprised. I kept it.
Apparently a new laser can be a fairly expensive repair though.
Good luck
