Looking for a cd player that plays nice with classical orchestra.

I think it’s going to be hard to find. But if you want a new single box cd player, then look for one that uses R2R ladder conversion technology, (not delta sigma) this will give you the fullest and richest dynamic sounds from redbook CD.
Same goes, if you go for separate transport and dac, this way there are now many dacs that are now discrete R2R ladder.
