CD Player

I am looking to replace my Meridian 207 transport + D/A. My system consists of Sunfire Cinema Grand processor and power amp, Merlin VSM speakers (with BAM), Cardas Neutral cables and a basic Monster surge protector. Looking to spend about $1,500 - $2,000 on a good quality used unit. What would you recommend?

Yes, Resolution Audio CD50, without question, without compromise.

Aga, getting a CD50 used would be getting "top of the line" for a bargain. Yes, I have a life. All of my concubines are very happy! And Sturd, I'm trying the Black Mamba on mine right now. Aga, if you don't like my psts, don't read them; I'd be ok with it.

Bmp, I've not compared the Panasonic and the Pioneer DVD players directly. Perhaps you'll consider one of the affordable upsampling DACS from Perpetual Technologies, MSB, or especially the Bel Canto DAC-1?? They work well with DVD players as the transport, and you could play 24/96 video spec audio DVD's too..............Megasam, they're supposed to get a new transport this summer, when production starts again, or so I'm told. I'm not sure if mine uses the surface mount technology or not, but it's so good (and has beaten everything else so badly) that I'm not concerned about it at all. It's just very fulfilling to listen to CD's on it...my life is full and rich with musical satisfaction.....
