The best CD Player for the money

My new Sony DVPS9000ES is starting to break in and it's kicking major ass. I've owned Levison #39 ($6000) & Classe Dac-1 ($4000) and this $1500 wonder is giving as much, if not more, pleasure. By the way, it is also a progressive scan DVD player.

Kkirkpa, that is very exciting! Keep us abreast of further break-in developments as this thing settles in. Can you describe what you are hearing? What is the rest of your system?

Wadia...go as high up the line as you can...the 830 is reasonably priced

Without a doubt any of the Sony SACD players. You get a terrific CDPlayer as well as SACD.

Thanks Sugarbrie. I have found the Sony SACD players to not do as well with CDs as a lot of good CD players. I have never had a chance to listen to them in a real good system(the dealers who carry them don't have the best systems), but the dealer told me he felt the same way. Said he didn't want to tell anyone, on account that people would think he was crazy, but since I came out and said it... Does anyone else feel this way, or do I need more time with the Sony players?
