The Upgrade Company modded Denon 3910 is an exceptional CD player and does magic with DVD-A and SACD. These usually sell for less than $400 on A'gon. FWIW, I replaced a Consonance Droplet 5.0 and a Lexicon RT-20 with the modded Denon. There was a slight loss of inner detail going from the Droplet to the Denon on CD and I could hear the loss of the tubes but all-in-all, it wasn't much of a sacrifice and the modded Denon kills the Lexicon RT-20. I can't imagine a better sounding player anywhere near this price range.
