Best sounding HDCD player??


I know my choices are limited.Just wondering what units stand out.My budget is about $5000.00.I'm currently using a Sonic Frontiers CD-1...

The APL Denon 3910 decodes HDCD and sounds exceptional. Used machines
are selling for near give-away prices.

If the Denon laser assembly reads discs OK, then there should be no other
service issues with an APL Denon player...
306P cost 8kUSD, there is a CDP from HDCD inventor which is IMHO "little" better
I"ll 2nd the APL Denon 3910 - a great player and currently artificially inexpensive on Agon. Hard, if not impossible, to beat under $10K
Have a listen to the McIntosh MCD301 and MCD500 players, very nice, very easy on the ears.
