CD Player Recommendations…

Looking for CD player recommendations that mate well with a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and Revel F30 speakers. Cabling is Discovery Essential speaker cables and matching Essence interconnects. I’m thinking the player should be on the neutral to perhaps slightly recessed/relaxed mids to synergize with the A308 and F30’s more forward characteristics.

Excellent Reference players. The Accuphase is for CD playback.
The AYRE and Marantz are SACD playback. The Marantz is a measure warmer than the AYRE.

Nice! I am always interested in learning about CD/SACD players that I have not auditioned.  I look forward to the next player comparison.
The CD32 was (at that time) a ground-up redesign around a (then new) Sanyo drive/transport mechanism.  MHZS has been out for quite a while now.  I have never read a bad review.

Happy Listening!

Thank you for the follow up. I have not heard an Ayon spinner.
The CXC transport is highly regarded around the Audio forums.

How does the Ayon and CXC stack up against a Primare?

Happy Listening!

The CD32 is made by Primare.  This player was a complete over-haul in comparison to older models. There are a few reviews out there.

Do you still own the CD32 ? If not, did you upgrade to a different player?

Happy Listening!
