+1 yakbob: The Yamaha S2100 SACD/CD player is an amazing player, and renders quality mastered SACD's with perfection. Added plus: I use a Wireworld optical cable from my Bluenode 2i streamer to the Yamaha DAC, with Tidal MQA as the streaming source, and the results are astonishing. Now if you don't need/want to render SACD's, then my prior experience points to Rotel, and perhaps Rega Apollo. Enjoy the hunt!

p.s. I managed to find the Yamaha S2100 on sale, new, for $1990 two years ago (MSRP is $3000). I did a quick check right now and found one company selling it for about the same, under your 2k bar; however, I have to add that I do NOT know anything about this company: https://www.new-age-electronics-corp.net/yamaha-cd-s2100sl.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoub3BRC6ARIsABGhnyaLLnpS5Y6CobEVmc0myyuw9hcfK2tHyid25MPa0jXt8DKwcnxeq1QaAlUpEALw_wcB |
