Increase the budget and take your own suggestion :

Rega Apollo. You should be able to get one for about $800

You're going to hear everything upstream through the Unifield 3, which in the case of the $500 CDP is going to be lots of grain and hash.

You owe it to yourself to increase your budget.

Ditto.

It is for a house I rent out. Not my main place. I don't want to have tenants use a high end cd player and for the few times a year I am there, it isn't worth the hassle.

It's a hassle to equip the place with a CD player costing over $500, but it's not a hassle to furnish it with $15,000 loudspeakers?

The logic seems askew.

Then buy a $50 DVD player at Target, Walmart or Best Buy. That should fill the requirement.

Get those speakers out of the rental.Do it now,do not wait or you will be sorry.I guarantee this.

Ditto. Unless you have a secure place to lock away the speakers (in which case lock away a good CDP as well), do NOT leave them w tenants, even if its your best friend.

I am getting the Oppo universal. Under 300 and folks say the sound is amazing for the price. Would be interesting A B test it against the Regas.
