Best CD player under $5K?

hi ivan:

excluding the tube vs no tube issue, what sonic attributes of your mooded oppo do you find exemplary ?

thanks

hi ivan:

what is there about the modded oppo that makes it such a great player ? does it have a tube ?

i have always found that a player with a tube sounds better than any ss player in current production.

how about changing the question tto "best player under $5000, with a classic tube character " ?

for example, is there a player that sounds like the havana dac?

i ask this question, because i think my trusty audio note cd2 , circa 1990, may be in a state of disrepair, or very expensive repair, and so i may be looking for a cd player myself, which has a tube sound like the mhdt havana. i am not aware of any.
