Recommendations of CD player for my system

Had you thought about adding a DAC?There has been some discussion concerning the Timbre TT-1 {645 or so}.Its' sonic character will be along the same line as the Planet.You will gain in soundstaging and detailing.Use caution when deciding upon a digital IC.

I would keep your CDP and dump the Myryad for a bigger improvement in sound for the $$$.

Socrates has a good point. Be careful of the used (Meridians) - word has it that they are not quite as reliable as one would want - you might be buying someone else's headaches. The stock SONY players sound good, and the mods I pointed out are sensible and not stratospheric money-wise.

Thank you very much, for all your responses. I'll have to ponder now, and come up with, i guess, as to which cd player I should go for, or stay with what I have. I've had some considerable positive feedbacks, as far as keeping the Rega in my system, due to the fact that I tend to listen to lot of those older jazz recordings. Now refering to Socrates, and Ivanj comments about dumping the Myryad comes as a complete surprise to me. I was very hesitant at first before buying the myryad MDP-500. I did some research on it and read numerous reviews, and they were all favorable.
My first choice was the Bryston SP1.5 or 1.7, but the price was too high. Maybe you guys can suggest something.
thank you.

Toudou, my friend with near the same setup to mine has the Myryad and a newer EAD side-by-side for a shootout, to both of use the EAD was the superior preamp, which shocked us to as we'be both seen the reviews for the Myryad as favorable. We only a-b tested with redbook, SACD and DVDA, but the Myryad wash bright and flat next to the EAD and it seemed to struggle with dynamics, while the EAD was effortless in its presentation and simply much easier to listen to. Professional reviewers did note that the 2ch performance of the Myryad wasn't so hot as well, fwiw. Movies may be a different story, but I'm not a videophile and couldn't judge its performance there, which may be worth the praise on that end. The Myryad build quality was lacking too, not that its very important, but next to the EAD it looked cheap. If you're happy with the sound stick with it, your associated gear may balance out, but if you find the system lacking it may be worth the effort to try a different pre/pro.
