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?

As you might have seen from the other postings, tastes differ. Make s shortlis for yourself what you want form a player: lots of feautures? Digital outputs? Upgradebility? Or do you like home-cinema? If that's the case consider a DVD-player. Anyway: make a shortlist of the feautires you want, decide how much money you want to spend, go to a dealer that has a few different players, and listen to them- preferably with your own speakers and amp- and then buy the one you like most. It's as simple as that. Oh, make sure you can change the player if you don't like it at home. I myself bought a Marantz CD-17 KI, and for me that is the best player around. Suck it and see for yourself!!!
