CD Player under $1k


I'm new to the 'boutique' world of audio equipment and I'm already hooked! Please bear with me regarding a few 'newbie' questions. I'm quite happy with my entry-level 5.1 system, but I'm looking to complete the system with various components (i.e. CD player, vinyl player, etc).
I’m looking for a CD player (Not SACD) under $1,000.

Recommendations by local dealers included NAD 565, Vega Apollo-R, Audiolab 8200CD, MOON 230D (previously CD .5) and Musical Fidelity M3CD. If anyone knows any other brands that I didn’t mention within that $1k price range, please add. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]

Current system:
Golden Ear Super Sat 50 System
• 2 Super Sat 50s
• 1 Super Sat 50c
• 2 Super Sat 3s
• 1 Forcefield 4 subwoofer
Marantz SR-6006
Audioquest (Vodka, Diamondback) cables

One that you will not hear spoken about that I took a chance on after reading a review of it in HiFi World is the XTZ CD 100 Divine .

I moved the XTZ CD 100 into a system where I had been using a Rega Apollo for a number of years. To be honest, I have not experienced much of a difference.

Cost is $600 new direct from the manufacturer. Email the company and you will deal with the company president directly. Norwegian designed player, manufactured in China.
