A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?


My ancient Linn Majik CD player has recently died. I only play a CD maybe once or twice a month, though I do have hundreds of them.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive good sounding replacement player? Thank you in advance...

For under $200 you can get a new universal disk transport from Sony which plays CD, SACD, Bluray and 4K including a vast range of audio formats including multi-channel and Dolby Atmos.  You get two HDMI outputs, one purely for audio.  Don't even bother comparing the purpose-built HDMI with USB ...

Are you suggesting something like a SONY UBP-X800 universal player

I was thinking of the even cheaper X700 universal transport!  Not something you would want to show off to your mates, but it does a remarkably good job of getting the bits off the disk and down the HDMI cables.  The remote is extremely basic, for example you cannot use it to directly select a track by its number, and its build quality is cheap!
