What cd player to purchase for less than $1000?

My friend just purchased Martin Logan Source speakers and the Krell S-300i integrated amp. Please let me know your opinion for the biggest bang for the buck cd player at a cost (new or used) of less than $1000. I was thinking about the Oppo 95, but would also like to hear other opinions out there. Thank you.

The Oppo BDP-95 at $995 would seem to be the best unit available for the price you listed. And, in addition to playing CDs, it will also handle virtuall every shiny-disc created: SACD, DVD-Audio, HDCD, and BluRay.

I doubt that you will find a better unit available for the price...

Stick with a dedicated CD player. The Rega Apollo is a great choice. The Exposure 2010s is also a nice piece.

Are you afraid to spend $60 at SonyStyle for a refurb 595? It will amaze you, if you keep your mind open. Best part is that SonyStyle will come and get it for free if you don't like it.

Agree.

If you go the main page and click on the search , it will give you option to enter a dollar amount and category. There are a lot of good choices for cd players that are in the $800 to 1k range.

A used Sony 5400. I've heard one and was very impressed.
