I guess that many of us have been around the block a few times, and there are probably a few units out there that are worth recommending. In my day, the three most memorable units in my system at the time, were the Musical fidelity X-Ray, the Cayin CD17, and the Rega Apollo. As it stands, I am currently looking for a new unit since the Cayin has shit the bed. Probably no fix for her. All I know is that I would like to go to a tube based output, with a robust build.
A close second would be to use one of these players along with multi-input dac. Oh boy
