New CDP

Take a look at the Technics SL-G700 SACD player. The only downsides are a slow drawer and no open/close button on the remote. If it's great sound you desire, it's a nice option. I have one and have completely forgotten about it which is the best thing I can say about any product.

BTW, there are two options out there: one with a built in streamer that goes for  more but if all you need is CD/SACD playback, go with the original. Also, the prices seem to differ around $300 amongst retailers with one saying prices will go up by $300 soon, so some might still be selling at the lower price. That, and availability seems to be a problem with some. 

All the best,
Nonoise

If it were me, I'd consider the Maranta SA-7s1 available used here today. I have no connection with the seller but someone should give that player a new home. If I didn't have so many players now, I would buy it. The dealer's phone number is listed in the ad. $2500 for a $7500 (MSRP) player is still a good deal, as long as there are no issues. Call to find out.

For CD Audiolab:

pre-owned REGA ISIS VALVE cdp/ dac. It comes in two configurations … the regular s/s and more expensive tube ( valve) version

Big bonus feature:

“ …. Those worried  about the viability of the CD format and getting your player serviced in the future, fear not. Inside the owner’s manual, there is a signature from the technician that assembled your ISIS, another tech that QC’d the electrical and mechanical systems and the tech that tested and archived not one, but two spare laser units. I think it’s safe to say that the ISIS will last longer than most of its owners and I appreciate this attention to detail, with CD transport mechanisms getting scarcer all the time…”

Denon DCD-A110. Here's my review ... 

Take a looking at the Wavetouch modded Oppo BDP-95. It is the least glare and veil sounding CD/SACD/streamer(universal) player in the world. Just like all power cords are made by people who don't know how proper audio cables are made, all CDPs are not made properly. The cheap CDPs and hi-end CDPs, they all sound glare (brightness) and veiled. Many people believe that glare and veil sounds are from loudspeakers. However, all audio glare, brightness, and veil sounds are more in CDPs. I know this because I made CDP that doesn't sound glare and veiled. 

Compare Wavetouch Modded CDP vs expensive CDPs sounds.

Maybe I missed it but where in the videos are the A/B comparisions within the same systems with the same recordings between the high end digital components and your modified Oppo?

@mihorn -- Maybe I missed it but where in the videos are the A/B comparisions within the same systems with the same recordings between the high end digital components and your modified Oppo?

1) I know what I fix and change in Oppo to reduce the glare and veil sound. It is so much work.

2) Anyone can hear that Wavetouch videos have no glare and veil. However, I haven’t heard any other system (at shows or anywhere) and any video that don’t sound glare and veil.

3) Below videos are recorded with a same camcorder on same day at same hotel. Many rooms are in same size and condition.

In below video, the human voice is natural and clear after the music played which is bright and veiled sounding.

In below video. The sound of human voice is natural, but audio sound is something else.

In below video, the human voice is perfect without any audio sound. As soon as there is audio sounds, my ears are ringing and eyes see bright/glare.

In below video (modded Oppo, the same recorder, same day, same hotel), the human voice and audio sounds are in same page. This was 8 months ago. My audio system is refined completely now (in my latest videos).

@mihorn - Once again, different systems, different music, different setups, different rooms , who can tell what is causing the differences. And, not sure what anyone is to make from your last video example as there is a preponderance of back and forth talking. I'm done though with going back and forth with you as it is taking from the Op's thread

I am familiar with the Denon that was suggested upstream and it’s a fine player.  I have the Bryston DC3 and I believe the Bryston CDP uses the same DAC.  I would also try Hegel.  
 It warms my heart that no one has told the OP he should get a streamer…

Technics came out with the MkII version of the SL-G700. That would be my choice

Pick up an AYRE cd player. Your ears will be rewarded.

Happy Listening!

Higher sonics and easier component upgrades vs consolidation of boxes (casework) and cables is usually a higher priority in high end audio.  Because one can easily get better sonics with a DAC+transport, few CD players are in demand and thus only a very few are available for sale.
