I've recently had a Pioneer Elite DV-58AV, a Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD, and now have a new Oppo BDP-95. The new Oppo is much better on CD than the Pioneers. It is probably the best CD player available until you get into the $5K Ayre player. (Ayre has never made a bad sounding component of any kind !!).
Also, the DV-58AV is better than the BDP-05, and plays SACD and DVD-A's to boot. It is a real sleeper.
