Which sub $2k CD player would you recommend?


Rega Saturn
Cambridge 840c
NAD Master 05 SACD/CD
Bel Canto CD-1
Other??????

All of these can be had either new or used for under $2k. I am looking for an "esoteric X-01 or X-03" kind of sound. meaning I want details, transparency and bass slam. Not a rounded out or smoothed sound that loses details. Thanks!

I own the Bel Canto CD1 it is a fine CD player just shy in soundstage relative to my Audio Research CD3 MK11

Thanks...I don't want to get a modded player, just looking for something stock but very good. How about the Meridien players? I noticed some G06 and G07s out there.
