backup cd player

"For a backup, I would take the Oppo 105. If nothing else, it offers the options of SACD, DVDA, BluRay plus the movie world."

I agree plus top tier on board DAC's for other digital sources.

Another one to consider, though an SACD player also, is the Yamaha CD-S1000 or CD-S2000 for that matter. If these players are anywhere near as good as their counterpart integrated amps(A-S1000, A-S2000), then I highly recommend them. Both the players weigh in at a very stout 33 pounds.

Looks like A4Less is out of stock of the CD-S1000 at the moment but they regularly sell them for under $900.00.
