For me the best CD players are the Accuphase. The DP-57, the DP-67 and now the DP-500 are some of the best player in the market. They will last forever. And Accuphase has a terrific service, where you will get parts also 10 years from now. Remember, the laser pickup goes bad with use and you will have to replace it in the future. Not every manufacturer will do that, and many others which rely on third party transports will have a hard time getting replacement parts.
Many will not be in business 10 years from now.
