Question from newbie

I'm in the market to upgrade my CD player and I'm confused at all the options available. I have a Carver Amp and Adcom Preamp. My current CD player is a six year old Technics that probably cost me under $200Cnd.

I've been looking at the Rotel 1070 and Nad 541i on eBay/Audiogon and they seem to be in my price range.

I posted a comparison question on Audioreview.com and the overwhelming responce was to look at the "Multi-Players"? I guess CD/DVD/SACD/DVD-A?

I'm only going to be using this player in my audio room to listen to my CD collection. Should I stick with a dedicated CD player or look at the combo players?

Thanks for any advise.

I still think the original Rega Planet for around $350-$400 (US) provides some of the best sound you can get for the money. They are easy to find because so many were sold, well built and very musical. I still use mine every now and then in my second system. It would be a very nice step up from your Technics, which is the player I replaced when I bought the Planet.
