I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CD PLAYER AND I DONT KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.WITH SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM I WANT TO PURCHASE SOMETHING GOOD BUT I DONT WANT TO SPEND 10,000 EITHER.
I'm in with TexasDave and the Denon 1650AR. Glad to know my great deal is even greater than I thought. I might get a universal for the sacd/dvdaudio, but the Denon is a beast..
I've changed my mind in the last few months and think that the Ayre C-5xe is the best deal around for the money. It blows the Meridian G08 away for CD source (it has HDCD decoding which the Meridian does not have), and as a bonus it plays stereo DVD-A, SACD, DVD-V, etc, etc...
Music Hall Maverick SACD/Enhanced CD/CD. Lists at $1500. Mine sounds damn good. Comes with good remote. Fab listening value for the $. I did not see anyone list this unit above. Any special reason if one only wants to invest $1000-$1500 on player?
Like I said before, an upgraded cdp is by far the best money spent in audio equipment.(Except for the Nuforce 9.02 amps maybe). They are absolutely awesome for the money. For about a 4k investment you might find yourself doing back flips in your listening room.
