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.

What surprising and refreshing insight you have written here. I am in agreement with you. Happy listening. BTW you are right, try to bring joy to others this season ( like your wife). That is what Christmas is all about.

I would go for the Rega Saturn MkIII, it has all the qualities a good CD player should possess: quality, sound and features… Oh and looks in my opinion.

Find a used Oppo in mint condition on ebay with remote included. You can get a model 103 for under 300.00.

Good for you OP!

Some common sense decency and graciousness, exactly what this forum needs more of.

Peace and a blessing.
