The best I have personally heard is the APL3910 which I own. But many of those original owners have upgraded their players to the latest model made by Alex Paychev which I believe is the APL 3.0 NWO GO. Those who have heard it swear by it. If you want the best, you have to go with APL.
Best CD player now made.
I am interested in getting the best CD player out there as one of my digital sources. I have a few candidates but I wanted some other opinions. Any suggestions on the Sony's top player or Mark Levinson, or even the BAT tubed affair. I realise the Transport and the DAC might be superior but I wanted to stay below 5 digits. Thanks,
