CD Source for Adcom Amplification

Hello,

I have just purchased the Adcom GFA-5400 and the Adcom GTP-502, and am looking for a source that would match with these amps. I am using B&W DM601 (original version) speakers. I am looking for a nice detailed ,dynamic and smooth sound.

I was looking at using a DVD player as a transport for use with a DAC, but am changing my mind, and consider using a Marantz CD5000 as it has the features I like such as CD text.

I am looking for something in the $200 - $600 range and am looking at new. If you have any suggestions I would be very grateful.

In a nutshell cd player to go with my system for a smooth, dynamic, and involving sound. (either as a transport for my DAC or as a stand alone player)

Thanks

D

As Brent mentioned above, the GCD-750 is not a bad player and would give you "consistent cosmetics" if that type of thing is important to you. To top it off, this player responds pretty well to modifications. Right off the bat, i would suggest a power cord upgrade as the 750 that i had here for a few days seemed to respond very noticeably to one cord in specific that i used on it. If you're a careful shopper, you can find these for about $500 on the used market. At least that's what the one i had here cost : ) Sean
