Best sounding CD player

Best I've ever used is probably Esoteric. It just does everything "right".

I think with all of them there are pros/cons. I've yet to find one I think is perfect.

@beeswax , "Man, I am really SICK AND TIRED of people doing everything but answering the question."

You are spot on.

And honestly, if people think their $600 CD transport is the "best", and "punches above it’s weight", a "giant killer", "competes with players 10X it’s price" or whatever BS they want to put in there, well, they obviously don’t have a lot of experience with high-end CD players. They’re not even in the same ballpark with some of the brands mentioned here. But I guess if the rest of their stuff is at about the same level of quality, well then, how could they know any better? They're probably not going to hook up too many $10k CD players to their $1200 amplifier to actually see if they can hear any differences. Know what I mean?

This place can be a joke sometimes.
