CD player


I have an opportunity to pick up a Musicial fidelity X Ray V8 CD player for $400.00 shipped. Wondering how good is this player and if there are other players out there that are as good or better than this one For $400.00. I do have the X Ray V3 DAC, PSU, and V3 Tube buffer for my wadia ipod doc/ Theata universal 3 transport running to a Musical Fidelity A3CR preamp which does sound good. I'm not a fan of having to unplug the digital cable out of the DAC to go back and forth from the Theata transport to the Wadia. Wondering would the X Ray V8 player sound as good as the Theata/V3 Dac set up?

Just hate that my DAC only has one coaxial out and I have to plug and unplug the other to go from my Transport to my wadia.
Would this help

Any recomendations on a one box player in the $400.00 range that would be up to par or better than my Theata universal 3 transport into my MF DAC which again sounds great. Just hate that my DAC only has one coaxial out and I have to plug and unplug the other to go from my Transport to my wadia.
Schubert I have a few MF pieces that have been trouble free for me. What horror stories have you herd regarding service?
With all the horror stories I've heard and read about MF gear service and parts, I wouldn't touch it.
I believe Stereophile reviewed the X Ray many years ago. I would look back over the review. Personally, I wouldn't buy a cd player/transport that is that old as eventually it will stop functioning and there probably won't be any parts available to fix it.

I think the X ray was around 800.00 to 1000.00. 400.00 seems a bit high to me.
