Your Thoughts on a CD Player

Hi Friends--

I am looking for suggestions for a CD player to best match my Marantz 2325 Receiver and Snell III's, speakers, since vintage players are hard to come by, what would be a good suggestion for my system, I listen to Jazz and 70's music.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated-----!

Thanks,
Bob

Used is good, probably get more for my money, up to 1000.00

Thanks!

Reliability is the key when buying used.

The older Sony ES series seem to hold up, as do the Pioneer Elite (PD-69).

Sony has a new SACD/CD player, the SCD-XA5400ES ES, which retails for $1499, and can be found discounted to around $1200. It comes with a five year warranty. It's one to consider.

Get a unit that can output to a DAC unit. That way you can look for a DAC tube unit and get the best of both worlds.
