6000 dollars CD player

The Yamaha S2100 is now $2999 from Music Direct...30 day returns!  Can not be beat for anywhere near this price...as good as it needs to be and built like a tank.

I have a Oppo105 that I bought new some 6+ years ago, specifically for my growing SACD and DVD-A collection. I was using a near new wonderfully built Marantz HD CD-1 ($500) as a transport to play red book, using the dac portion of my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5.  A few years later I came across superior Linear Power Supplies on ebay which significantly upped the105s game (<$400): fairly simple DIY. My points being, the105 lazer has worked flawlessly, and yes SACD classical sounds clearly superior to red book!


Now, a few days ago I saw a 2 box BOW Technologies CD player on Agon for $3000. Those are built like Rolls Royces

Technics sells a GLS 700 which plays both CD and SACD. The interior design, specs and build quality are impressive. Alas, I haven't been able to find a review in English. MSRP $2999. If it only lasts 6-10 years, chances are better players will be available

I was in the market for a new CD/ SACD player when I went to Capital Audio Fest 2019 (the most recent one)... I listened to players costing $2000 -$6000 and then I heard the ModWright / Pioneer BluRay player. It was by far the best player I heard there, and because 5 or 6 vendors were all using it I got to hear it in numerous systems. I liked it enough that I bought one of their CAF demos. lol I keep feeding it audio discs/ video discs and a few BluRays.... and it never fails to amaze. I continue to be amazed at how good regular CDs sound. I'd suggest that you give ModWright a call.I just love it. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. 

OPPO UDP-205. $6,895 on Amazon 

Tks for the replies. According to my limited experience for audio shop listening till now. The best sound CD player is Estoric K03XD, the new model, but which double my budget. In addition, Estoric player will sound better with the adding of clock which push up the carrying cost even more higher. Though, I am much appreciated the sound it can produce, but I can’t afford the sky rocking price indeed.

Also, when you consider the possible replacement of the CD player, the famous model would be able to sell for good re-selling price just like reputable 2nd hand car.
