I have a very high resolution system with superb front end (SME20/2, Triplanar, Lyra Titan). I currently do not have a CD player in this system. I am looking for an excellent red book player that will not be too embarrased by my analog front end. My price limit is $2,000 retail. A few that I have in mind are the Quad CDP 99, Naim 5i and Consonance. Your experiences and comparisons with any of these players or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
Of the 3 models for which you've stated interest, I would guess that they are all very good. I know that the Naim player is very good and recommend it.
Also in your price range would be the Music Hall Maverick at $1500. It boasts first class redbook play, and you get SACD, too.
