Looking for a CD Player


I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player.  The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age.  My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them.  Not wanting to purchase streaming music.  Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects -    Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability??  Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00.  All the help would be appreciated.

The only thing you list that comes close is an Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP CDP which as far as I know is a CD player, pure and simple.

When I comment here, I try to explain my reasoning so there can be a sensible debate.

If you are not interested, stop commenting.

Just a side note to the OP. It’s never been easier or more affordable to try streaming. Streaming audio is a joy in terms of selection of artists, convenience and hi-fidelity. The WiiM Pro is now at $263 and some change for Black Friday on Amazon. Room correction, touchscreen and it can connect directly to your app. If it doesn’t work out, send it back to Amazon. Easy breezy… food for thought.

Finally, you’ve done what I was asking from the beginning, instead of pushing your ego-driven word-salad.

And, just for you, I’ve added a close-up picture of the unit.

 

 

I have SimAudio Moon Andromeda CD Player Silver for sale it’s in excellent condition with original box and accessories

Lemme know if interested

I love CDs , but I have discovered so much great music in the last 5 years by streaming.   If I really like an album I stream i will usually buy it on CD or sometimes LP....

I think streaming is a must have, especially with $299 Nodes and WiiMs.  

I can't imagine not streaming.
