Best CD player under $2000


I have enough cd’s to justify a new or newer one, just not home through the week to invest in streaming. Current player is a Myryad Z-122 nice little unit that has served me well. Using a Jolida FX Glass Tube DAC at the moment.

The only one I would buy is a bit over - the little Luxman at $2695. However, the Cambridge Audio Transport at $450 is really good - so that with a DAC is the way to go if funds are tight. Again, over budget, but the Ayre Codex with the CDC transport at $2250, sounds better than the $2695 Luxman. If you separate the physical transport, you eliminate the weak point of ALL CD players - the fact that the transport breaks. I’ve seen too many $8k Esoteric CD players that are now pretty boat anchors...
cayin CD17 Mark 2, @ $1500 includes ship, I have Mark 1 performs flawless past 17 years. Built like a  tank, sings like a  angel, can be heard on my YT uploads.
@mozartfan Are you listening to the Cayin’s 17 year old DAC or using the Cayin as a transport?
