Best CD player for $700.00

I need to upgrade my old CD player (Mag CDB 650). I am considering the Adcom GCD 700 which lists for $700.00. It sounded very warm and open. What are some other alternatives and how do they stack up to the Adcom. Your help is appreciated

I think you will find the rotel 971 hard to beat. Probably you can get it for under 600$ with a little effort. HDCD and imho a more balanced presentation than the adcom.

I second Sdcampbell's motion. I have the Pioneer DV-37 and it sounds as good as many $1500 CD players I have heard. Not too shabby on the DVD side as well.

try the NAD 515 5-Disc player. it was recomended by stereophile. i have one and it has a nice warm and open sound. nice features without being to cluttered. they sell new for $500 and used for about $250-$300. I dont think it gives up much from my $3000 Naim CD system.
