Headphone System CD Player Recommendations Please


Presently using Creative Jukebox 3 (with WAV files) as source, but looking to upgrade to CD player. I generally listen to all types of music (well, no Rap or Heavy Metal). My present audio equipment consists of Sennheiser HD 600 with Equinox Cable, Etymotic 4S, Headroom Cosmic Reference Amp with Base Station One Power Supply.

Some of the CD players that I am thinking about (came up with this list from researching posts here on audiogon) are Ayre CX7, Audio Research CD3 MKII, Arcam FMJ 33, MF Trivista, Marantz SA14 Ver2. Would appreciate some comments or critic, or even suggestions if there other players that I should be looking at. CD playback is the priority, SACD to be considered a bonus feature if available.

Thanks a bunch for your comments.

If you give us a budget, that would help. I think that there is a quite a range in price among those that you mentioned.
