Excellent sounding cd/sacd players on the used market.

Thank you in advance, but I am looking for your experience with various players.   I would prefer answers that were not "what I own is the best".  Those of you that have had a number of players and can share your experience with the ones of better sonic quality...which I know is subjective.  But all persons on this site can be of value ot others, especially if it is avoiding poor choices.

A very good point on the laser pickup, one that should always be considered with any used disc spinner purchase.
And the availability of said pickups just in case!

Hi Jim:

Maybe a new production dedicated transport + a DAC of your choice?

The Audiolab 6000CDT seems to be the going bargain @ $550.

The last "musical" CD deck I listened to (2012-2013) was the Teac PD-600 which retailed for around $1K @ the time.

I regret not picking one up when they were discoed later @ a lower price.

The Teac reminded of the old Meridien 508.24, but better for my taste.
