Lot's of good suggestions & it comes down to personal preferences. Whichever CDP you choose, you can take it to the next level with mods. I have a Meridian 508.20 & had Blackgates & Schottky's put in. Absolutely no digital glare.
I also auditioned the ARC CD3 & thought it was very smooth. I was tempted to buy it but upgraded to an Ayre V-5x instead.
