The best CD Player for the money

McIntosh MCD 205, the best you can do without buying the DAC and the transport seperately. Will make a CD sound as good as a record. Also holds 5 CDs.

I've got to agree with Alpha3, the TRL/Sony C2000ES is very good. VERY good. And less than $900 delivered!

I've heard their Marantz SA-14 mod and it is much better, but more money, too.

You won't be disappointed with the TRL C2000ES. I'm very happy with mine.

Hey Sammie;---I'm looking with proper intent,as well. 4/30/05

Try the Resolution Audio Opus 21 - very nice. If cash is not an issue, then strongly recommend the Reimyo CDP-777

A preowned Marantz SA-1 SACD/CD player. I own two SA-1's and ditched every transport/dac combo unit in excess of $50K. And the Marantz SA-1 just an incredible player and will be sought after many years to come.

It's best of the best A+ sound & build quality. Retail was $7500 but now you can find them for a steal preowned under $4K. Which is a steal.

And this is a person who owns over 25,000 CDs & 1800 SACDs and every single MFSL Gold, DCC Gold and Sony Gold out of print CDs.
