The best CD Player for the money

I just bought Oppo 105. If you want at least part of the time to use the analogue audio part of the time (lots of people believe analogue is always better than digital), the Oppo has no competition. It does so many things well, I believe it is the best for the money, not $10,000 but $1200 and the Oppo 103 sells for $500. Not quite as wonderful as the 105 but again, the best for the money. This must be a very important thread to have been here so many years. Happy listening and watching.

what is a cd player? kidding

Cambridge Azur 651C CD Player very nice machine

I like the sound of the Sony s9000es an awful lot and the old Cal Audio DX-1 sounds like vinyl to me. But neither play CD-R so I'm in the market for something newer. I'm currently looking at a Teac H600 and wondering why this player gets rave reviews but no mention here.

I will have to purchase the Teac without listening. Anyone here heard one and care to offer an opinion?

I recently replaced an Ayre CX-7 with an Oppo 105-considering it plays multi-formats it must be a consideration for the title in this thread.

It is a very good CD player.

North Star Design-Sapphire. No longer in production but I assume $1k could get you a near mint one. The Sapphire just gets out of the way of the music. If you want a new player look into several Audio Analogue models or even the Chinese made Lite Audio CD 22.
