Personal CD player evolution

To take a cue from the previous threads 'amp' & 'speaker' personal evolution, I bid you this question...

for me it was a Hitachi small black box circa 1983, bought from a Luskin's discount electronics store (I think I paid around $250), then...

-Yamaha COX-700U (1985 or so, still in use by my father)
-Carver ? model to match a Carver amp I had at the time
-Rega original Planet
-Cary 303/100
-Cary 306/200

1. The very first consumer SONY CD in 1982 ($500)

2. Luxman CD112 ($850)

3. Rega Planet ($895)

4. Rega Planet as transport with Perp Tech P1A/3A & PS (add $900 to #3, pretty nice addition & well worth it)

5. Naim CDX2 ($5350)

6. Naim CDX2 with XPS II ( add $4950 to #5 and yes, its very a completly different player then #5)

7. I cannot see moving on from the current rig for a long time, as a reviewer for positive-feedback I have heard a lot...but I just dig the Naim CDPs espcially with the XPSII.
