Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K


My budget is 15K for a new or preowned CD/SACD player.

Not happy with the McIntosh MCD-500 player. My vintage Denon CD player out performs it. I was very disappointed in the McIntosh MCD500 player. I had the McIntosh MC601 amps and they were disappointing too. No more McIntosh gear for me.

I am on the market now and would like to keep under 15K for a new or preowned CD player. Also no multi format players .

Thanks for any suggestions.

Joe, I know how you feel. Even though mcIntosh has a great following and loyal fan base, I sold my MCD500 after 6 months. It sounded great, but did not get me to connect emotionally to the music. Some feel McIntosh is the SOTA, but not me.
