Okay......best single box reference CD player

I currently own a CEC TL-1 transport, along with a dcs Delius and Purcell upsampler.....what one box CD player out there can deliver dynamics, transpareny, smoothness and inner detail that will outperform my current set up. Meridian 808....???? Please let me know your thoughts....

To all your needs,... and with a sense of ease and naturalness;
to my ears that is the AMR CD77.
But I can only imagine that there are a few others at this level and it all comes down to individual room, system and listener.

Trade your Delius for a Scarlatti DAC. I know it's not a 1 box solution, but you will be very pleased.

Most of the players mentioned are top class and you will probably satisfied with any of them. Put EMM LABS CDSA in your list also.
