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?

I use a Rega Saturn-R. It is a fine sounding CD player, built in the UK by a company who's primary business is Turntables. The Rega Saturn-R is actually a quality CD Transport, plus a multi-input DAC, built into one very heavy and rigid enclosure. It's a very elegant piece and it mates especially well with Rega's matching Rega Elicit-R integrated amp. Add a Rega TT and Rega speakers and you would have a very find sounding system, all from a single vendor.
@akg_ca - I would love to hear the Rega Isis Valve, however it's WAY out of my price range. I have the Rega Saturn-R which I think is very good, especially at the used price. If the Isis Valve is the same house sound, but just a bit better across the spectrum, I'm sure its a sonic marvel....

BTW, for anyone interested, the Rega Saturn-R is a CD transport/player/DAC all in one very nice chassis. It's a great CD player and transport. It also has a very competent DAC which I use mostly for internet radio (Radio Paradise) and for bit perfect output from an iPod and iPhone through a NuForce iDo. Very nice.......
