I'd like to AMEN the endorsement of the Yamaha S2100. Have owned too many CD players to mention including the famed Oppo's, NAD, Cambridge Audio, etc. All sounded 'digital'. This Yamaha is the first which leaps over the expanse into the magical journey INTO the believable soundstage. There is the flagship model above this one but most importantly the S2100 includes the flagship transport mechanism. Honestly I had believed I had pretty much reached the limit of the CD's ability to sing. Not so. This $3500 player transforms CD's to analog-like texture but still opens up stunning detail. One gets pulled into the music like vinyl but with no smearing of instrument positioning. Provides 3-dimentional feel in shocking ways. Highly recommended. (Use top interconnects)
