new cd player or old

What gives better sound-a quality used cd player from 10 years ago, or a new NAD player?

Why does it have to be as far back as 10 years ?

There are some respectable cd players that are in your price range ( Jolida JD 100 is one example ) and isnt 10 years old.

go for the sony 595 as a refurb from sonystyle for about $60. if you don't like it they will come and get it. check it out as it is one of the best units available often beating $2K units.

Get the Cambridge DAC, excellent sound for the money.

A) The new player from Sony........XD5400SE (CD/SACD)
B) NAD Master series...............M5 (CD/SACD)
C) YAMAHA..........................CD2000 (CD/SACD)

HI-Thakns for the suggestions. I purchased an NAD and I am really surprised how much better it sounds than my old unit-right out of the box. Recommended for anyone thinking of an inexpensive cd player.

Which NAD model did you buy?
