modwright’s modded sony or marantz or oppo units with tube output stage are very hard to beat for sound quality, but you have to deal with multiple boxes, umbilicals, tubes etc etc
levinson’s top players were excellent, there is one just fixed up on the other used gear site
the vacuum state modded top tier sony’s are also really wonderful solid state units
i still have a modwright and a vsei sony scd-1...
among current players, the hegel mohican has had excellent reviews, i have not heard it, but hegel only makes stuff that sounds great
