Urbie. That's an absurd statement. That's like saying you can't find a quality car for under 20 grand. Granted the more you pay for anything likely will result in higher quality construction and components and more bells and whistles but that doesn't mean you can't find something decent for a lower price. You can also find lemons at higher prices in most products.
Searching for a new CD player
I would like to purchase either a new or used CD player. Budget is about $600. My biggest priority is finding one that will play CD's that contain some scuffs and scratches. My current Yamaha 300 model that is a few years old does not do well in that respect. I've read the Audiolab 6000cdt transport is good with CD's in bad condition but I will then need to add a DAC. Not sure if any of the less expensive DAC's like the Cambridge Audio DAC Magic 100 is worth the cost since it appears to be about ten years old now. Wondering if buying a new Marantz CD6007 or Rotel CD11 Tribute might be better since the DAC's are newer? I noted the new Music Hall C DAC 15.3 is pretty good at handling troublesome CD's.
Or would there be some used CD players that might outshine the new models mentioned?
