CDP-Front load with Top qualities

Hi there,

I am starting to get the itch for a new CDP. I have been researching and it seems that all of the qualities in a player that I am looking for exist predominately in a top loader. The problem is that I have rack constraints and need a front loader. Based on the reviews and feedbacks that I have found, the players that I would love to have would be:(in no particular order) Audio Aero Capitole MKII, AudioMeca Mephisto II.X, Einstein The Last Player,
Electrocompaniet EMC 1Up, Audio Research CDIII plus a few more that my CRS keeps me from thinking of at this time.

What I would like is a front loader that would give me a more refined sound like the above mentioned players.

Any and all suggestions would be more than welcome.

Thanks and good listening,

I also have the Vecteur L-4- makes a great transport, however I use an outboard (Audio Logic) dac and the combo is much, much better...

Interesting- I have the same rack issues as you, and that is why I picked up a Vecteur L-4 CDP. Slimline front-loader, but heavy and with excellent build. I now use it as a transport into an Audio Logic 24MXL dac, but can highly recommend the Vecteur for either digital application.
