is there a current production 20 bit cd player ?

okay, i'll take a different approach to the same subject.

does anyone know of a 20 bit player in current production ?

perhaps my best bet is to avoid 24/192 and look for a non upsampled/oversampled cd player. any ideas ?

I did a five minute Google search for 20 bit CD players and found these. I'm sure there are others. The Denon appears to be current. The Meridian is available used. I don't know about the Yamaha.

In general, I agree with that supposition, and believe it applies to all recordings regardless of format. Garbage in...garbage out.
