The best CD Player for the money

A Cayin CD-15A from China. They make Audio Electronic supply amps there too according to EnjoyTheMusic.com. Some features:

1. HDCD
2. upsampling to 24/96
3. choice of discrete SS output or tubed-output

Great build and looks very cool. I've asked several Cayin amp users and they say it's reliable.

$510 only plus freight

I want to have some advices.

Which is the best CD player matched my systems?

I have VTL tubed amplifiers, speakers are AR's AR-1.

I love female vocals,jazz musics.

I am still looking. I've listned to and prefer in ascending order, the Music Hall 25, the Linn Genki and Marantz SA-14.
Each player sounded twice as good as the previous one. I am still waiting to hear a Jolida JD 100. Does anyone know what that sounds like compared to any of the ones mentioned in the above paraggraph? I have never even heard a tube CD player but I am anxious to try it. I own a Jolida SJ 302 tube amp and Linn Ninka Speakers and hope they will all work well together.

Please share your comments regarding the Jolida vs. Marantz SA-14.

I just purchased an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000.
Fully tweaked it's less than $800. So in my hunble opinion it's the best bang for the buck.
We'll see.

Kanna, I too live in Sac and have visited Deetes several times. Do you remember what Jolidas you wee comparing the Musichall with? According to Bill Baker of responseaudio the JD100 and Musichall 25 are basically the same unit except the Jolida has a tubed output stage. The Jolida sells for $900. I would be very surprised if a modified Musichall sounds as good as a JD100. Not saying it doesn't - I haven't heard one.
