Bad CDs will not sound great on whatever CDP - but they will sound DIFFERENT!! So you have to hear if that different sound is what you're after.
I own a Wadia 270/27ix combo and in teamwork with the PS-Audio 300 PowerPlant there is not a single CD in my about 5000 pieces collection which sounds unbearable. No secret, though, that this gear will send you to highest levels of listening if the software is RIGHT. For me Wadia just does the MUSIC right!
So - you have "to decide which is right and which is an illusion"...(The Moody Blues on "Days Of Future Passed")
Good luck!
