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...

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be accusatory at all but was just confused but you cleared it up. My bad for not understanding.  I wish you the best of luck in finding a good transport. 

I’m confused.  You ask for a CD player but then say you’ll be using a DAC. Which is it?  With a DAC I’d be looking at the Shanling ET3 that gets good reviews, but I’d look into reliability because I think I’ve seen it has had some problems. Whichever way you go, best of luck. 

You know, saying low cost really doesn’t mean anything. You should state your specific budget.  That said, given what you’re looking for I’d look right to Marantz.  Personally I wouldn’t wanna buy a used CD player because you have no idea how many hours the laser/transport have on them.  I’d buy from here…

Best of luck.
