Recommend CD player


Recently, I just listen to the combination of the CEC TL1 + Sonic Frontier SFD-2 MkII. The sound was supreme, very smooth and has a very dept sounstage revealed layer by layer. The price for the used combo is around $3000. However, I was thinking that the combo is old now(almost 7-8 years technology)and we should try something new for today. Has anyone here has any suggestion on what CD that has the sound characteristic like this or better?

Thank in advance for any opinion.

Hi all guys,

Thank for all comment and recommendation that all of your guy pressing on here. The only problem about North Star is we don't have this brand selling in my country (Thailand). (Perhap I should get some WWW address and get order from them). So, the chance to audition is quite low. Currently, I still look on the others alternative like one pieces CD player. The populaer brand here is Accuphase. Has any one compare them with Accupahse 65 or 75 model? Other is Wadia. Meridian also one of the brand that sell here.

FYI. currently I used the Micormega Drive2 + Dac. This combo was the top of the line of the popular Micromega stage2 several years ago. I like to upgrade them because I feel that listen to the orchestra music, there is not full fill my requirement, in term of soundstage. Sound is a little dry and more congest when the instrument play at the same time.
But you have SimAudio, right? Try Nova, and then see if you still want to try others...
