Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?


While reading through the many threads on Vinyl vs. CD, I thought it might be interesting to see what CD transports/players Vinyl fans use when not listening to their analog rig?

AMR DP-777 being fed by a Mac mini on an Atomic Labs Mac Mini Platform. The Mac mini feeds an iFi Gemini cable (this cable beat and displaced my former $3k Locus Design Cynosure USB cable) into a iFi iUSB and then to another Gemini USB cable into an iFi iPurifier and then finally into the DP-777. This is all powered by a PS Audio P300 (soon to be a P10). The Dac is plugged directly into the p300, the Mac/iUSB first go into an isolation transformer and then into the P300. PureMusic is the audio engine.

This sounds like a very high end turn table with good redbook and especially so with hi-res pcm or DSD. It has that continuity and wide open dynamic BW I associate with (superb) analog. I know a number of $30k analog rigs that would get owned and this is not even the SE version (yet :) of the 777 :)
Melbguy1: I for one did note the original posters language/nomenclature. I, however, took it to mean (rightly or wrongly) "hey analog guys what digital are you using?". I am sure others did as well based on the responses. If he truly only meant "CD-Players" proper, then my bad.
Melbguy: The virtues of computer audio??? really? its just a hobby and a fun one at that. I don't care one way or the other I simply saw "digital" but if you want to feign anger over something so trite and small then go ahead try to take the fun out of the discussion. I already admitted I didn't think of it as a CD player proper, no need to curse at me and become indignant.
BUT.., he did say CD player so I will refrain from further posts to this thread :)
I did purchase my last optical reader (i.e. CD player); I went with the AMR CD77.1. Best one box I have ever heard next to my former Dynavox Dynastation II.
