Recommend a cd player


Looking for a recommendation for a cd player upgrade to my Rotel 1072.
My system:
Musical Fidelity A3.5 Integrated
PSB Synchrony Two tower speakers
MIT S3.3 interconnects
MIT Shotgun S3 bi-wire speaker cable
Shunyata Black Mamba HC CX power cable (wall to Hydra2)
Shunyata Black Mamba CX (to cdp)
Shunyata Taipan Alpha Helix (to Integrated amp)

How about the Bryston BCD-1?
Or a Cary 303? Or a Cary CDP-1?

Thanks for your input!!

A Musical Fidelity A3.5 cdplayer comes to my mind first.You can't beat brand synergy as far as I'm concerned,but that's just me.There is one for sale in the classifieds for $695.00(I have no affiliation with the seller)The three players you listed are all in different price and probably sound catergories.What is your budget and what qualities and features are you looking for?I own a Cary CDP-1 and am very happy with it in my system.I have no idea if you will like it.Only you can make that decision.Good luck in your search.
Don't overlook Buc's Sony 595 recommendation.After hearing him rave over this unit for the last year or so,I bought one.I was hoping it was crappy so I could bust his chops!!This thing is damn good sounding for the price.The SACD playback is really good.I wasn't that impressed with the redbook section so I bought a LitE DAC Ah and it brought the redbook playback up 10 or so notches.It's not as good as my Cary but then I've only got about $250.00 tied up in the total rig.It has a permanent home in my second system.Thanks Buc.
