CD Players- What To Look For?


Are there any key features/specifications of CD players that are worth looking at? Sampling rate, preamp, etc... Or is performance totally subjective? Who makes the best CD players out there in the $1,000-$2,000 range?

I have a Sony X77ES player (some say it was better than the XA7ES) and have compared it to Linn,YBA,EAD,Arcam,Naim 3.5,and the Sony sounded as good as or better than. Then I compared it to the Copland 289 and the Sony sounded almost awful in comparison. Guess what I bought.
