New Generation of CD Players Which is Best?

Even with mods to SACD players, people using these with
outboard DACs..etc., we still seem to be where we were.

Maybe this is why better makers are bringing out new model
CD players.

Companies such as Ayre, Audio Research, Classe, Cary and
others are putting higher end efforts into Redbook.

So, what new upper-end CD only players do you own..what did
you compare it too, what improvements does it have over your
last gen. player...and anything else you might ad.

After all, this is likely still your most important source
component.
