Headroom MAX / Sennheiser 600, what CD?

I am about to receive a Headroom MAX / Sennheiser HD600 for use in my office. I am currently using a Sony MXD-D3 CD/MD machine as my audio source, this machine is OK but not 'great'. What would be a Great CD player with excellend sound that will do the amp/headphone combo justice? Looking for something up to $1,000-$1,200, used is fine. If it looks cool, that would be nice, too :))

Try to find one that has a line out, like for the crappy sounding tape/cd converters you see for cars. The amp will sound way better not having to go through the headphone output from the player.

Unfortunately, there si not a lot out there for the price range you are in. Few about $1,000 more you can pick-up a pre-owned meridian 508.20 maybe even a 508.24. A very good player for the money. Also the SONY X771ES CD player may be very good pre-owned or even a Mark Levinson #39.

Sorry Njonker, didn't pay enough attention to the last bit of your post. I thought you where looking for a portable. I have a headroom supreme with Grado 330's? I think, any way hook the stuff up with the best cable you can. It makes a huge difference.

The Sony XA7ES CD player is available used for around $1200. and is excellent. Stereophile Class A. I used it for several years, and it truly is an excellent CDP, and is built like a tank at about 35 lbs.. Happy Hunting. Craig
