In that price range, I picked the Sony HAP-Z1ES high resolution player/DAC. Loaded all my CDs onto its hard drive. No looking back to digital physical media. Sony iPad/iPhone app for album/song selection. Really liking this and highly recommended.
@rsfphil Very observant. I'm well aware of what the Sony does. Maybe keep an open mind on this subject? That was the reason for my suggestion to the original poster. The Sony will play everything on a CD, except one does not need to handle the CD after loading it the first time. Like it or not, CDs---and old-fashioned CD players---are going away fast.
