Looking for a good 1000- 2000 CD player

I am in the market for a CD player in the $1000-$2000 price range to compliment my current system:

•Sonus Faber Concertino speakers
•Sim Audio Moon i-5 integrated amp
•Cardas Golden Cross interconnect
•DH Labs speaker cable
•NHT SW3P subwoofer

I am using a Musical Fidelity Electra E60 CD player with the previously mentioned setup and am looking to upgrade to a player that will hopefully offer more resolution and refinement while maintaining a degree of warmth. My tastes tend toward a system that is involving and emotional. I don't like systems that sound overly analytical and dry.

I have not auditioned any players yet, but am considering the Audio Analogue Paganini and Maestro, and also the Myryad MC100 and MCD500.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I value fellow consumer opinion over professional reviews.

Thanks,
Dean Yamasaki

I think you should be considering the new high Rez technology, rather than buying into 18 year old CD technology.

The Sony SCD-333ES ($800) CD/SACD, S9000ES CD/DVD/SACD ($1,100), and SCD-777ES CD/SACD ($1600) should be considered. Prices are mailorder. They are very good CD players and excellent SACD players.
