Best sounding CD player

Man, I am really SICK AND TIRED of people doing everything but answering the question. dvdgreco asked about CD players and a bunch of you come telling him/her to go into streaming. It's ABOUT CD PLAYERS. Stick to the topic. You're not getting a commission so stop being a know-it-all. Sheesh.

p.s. - very happy with my Bryston BCD-3, but there are definitely quality control issues with my unit. Tray errors often.

I also would recommend CD upgrades available from LCAudio in Denmark if you can get someone to do them. Class A stage output (to bypass opamps) and a good clock.

For those of us for whom cost is an issue; would appreciate if the posts and replies would indicate budget/costs. Thankyou.

Wadia S7i. Not made anymore. The the new Wadia company nothing like the original. Best CD PLAYER I KNOW OF.is the WADIA S7i

I like going the separate route myself and you guys should definitely check out the w y r e d 4 sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the most analog sounding dacs that I've heard, not cheap though $4,500 UD but in testing it beat up on much more expensive dacs and one of their viewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC was every bit as analog sounding, I bought it and I totally agree I absolutely love it and I use it with an esoteric P10 transport.
