help need in choosing a $800 to $1500 cd player

hi all,

Help needed in picking a CD player in the 800 to 1550 dollar price range. On my short list are

A Quad 99CD-P/2, Jolida JD-100A, Rega Apollo, Music hall CD25.2 L-1 with Undewood mods, Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler and a used Sony SCD-777Es sacd/cd.

thanks

Larry

You might want to save some money and at least check out the new Cambridge Audio Azur 640 v2 CD player. Although it does not have upsampling or HDCD decoding, it has individual DACs per channel and absolutely sings. It is noticeably superior to the previous iteration, and that one played to rave reviews in the British press. I have a number of friends who have replaced their high profile players, including a couple on your list, with this one, simply because it sounds better.
Good luck.
