Here's a 2nd for the Naim. I bet it would work magic in your system, even the CD5i which can be had new for ~$1700 and it just gets better from there.
CD Player recommendations for a SET system
I thought I'd post this in the Amp Pream forum for the SET experts. I have 211 mono blocks and DB-99 speakers. I am trying to find a CD player which will give some dynamics to the sound. Budget is about 2k for a used player. My system sounds very good currently (using an older sony CD player) but large scale orchestra sounds somewhat conjested. Vocals and smaller scale music is great. What CD players have you SET users found that work best in the combo.
Thanks
