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...

I have a Sony UBP-X800M2 that I use for video (movies and concert videos). It works well for that, but I don't like it for sacd or cd playback.  Unless something is wrong with mine (I don't think there is), there is no display on the unit.  You have to use a TV to see what's playing, etc.  Some folks might be OK with that. 

I have a Marantz CD6006, Pioneer Elite DV-45A, and NAD C542 sitting in boxes.  I've never directly compared them. 

I had the Marantz in my main system for a while. It got excellent reviews.  I'd say it's nice for the money, but on the warm side in my opinion.  Might be perfect if your system is a tad bright. 

My Denon DCD-1700NE was a big step up, but probably not in the low cost category.
