Get an Opus 21 as mentioned or perhaps a Sony 5400. Another good choice is the Oppo 95!
Need help picking a CD Player
I am looking for a CD Player under 2000$ new or used. My speakers and amp are PSB Sync. and Parasound Halo A21, combined they have a forward, smooth sound. Any advice on a good match CDP would be great. I heard the Rega Apollo-R and it wasn't for me, I preferred the QUAD Elite CDP in comparison. I have also heard good things about the Audiolab CDQ but can't audition one in USA. My current preamp is weak and thought the volume control/preamp built in to the CDP would be wise to use the balanced conn. to my amp too. Thanks for your advice! Watson
