The best CD Player for the money

The Emotiva ERC-3. Good build and good sound. Long warranty. With music servers coming more the music option for playback for many, looking for a good, last cd player makes good sense too me.

The OPPO players would be nice as well.

I guess the question is still relevant among streaming and computer audio,

I listened to a EMM Labs CDSA-SE and it took less then 5 minutes to realize what a fantastic digital player it is especially for a used price of $4,000.00, look for the later models with the German built transport .

I have listened to the popular players of the day even the modified ones at all prices used from $2000.00 and up then $10,000.00 plus players,, just for the fun of it.

The striking performance of the EMM Labs along with the used going price IS to my ears the best game in town by a good margin.

Well not sure about the best cd for the money hard way to analyze the sound, I use a sim moon audio 300D Dac and a Cambridge audio Azure 540cd player as a ttransporter. I have a love hate relationship with it , not sure how important the digital cable I use kimber d30 $135 canadin and wireworld equinox 7s as a front end was going or thinking of upgrade the equinox 7s for there Eclipse 7s ,, dillema , mybe a better Transporter , as the300D is a good Dac , any ssuggestions , best OWLY

There is no really good reason to stop listing peoples regarding value based opinions regarding CD players. Thus I say "party on Garth."
BTW I am currently using a 9-10 year old Music Hall MMF-25 which is still playing better than well in all aspects of its function.
My better CD players are still in my now Ex's house, and she is making it difficult to get them back Another knife in my back!

I vote for the RCD-101. It sounds better than the previous Signature Series player (SCD-010) which which was awesome! I rate it above MSB and many other dacs like DCS, Emm etc for musicality.
