What's a Good Match?/ sacd/cd player

Get one (if still available) of the ModWright Sony 999es SACD/cd players. It is excellent.

Disclaimer: I've NO vested interest in either Sony or Modwright.

How about the Jolida Tube that everyone raves about...oh I am not sure if it is only red-book

I think he would have to listen to the Jolida. It is a terrific CD player for it's price; however, I think the modded Sony will take Red Book to a whole new level. But it is a different sound.

You should consider the McCormack udp-1 universal player.I'm quite happy with mine.......

Totally agree. Go with a modded player. The Jolida would stand out as the weak link in your system (I previously owned one). If you state your listening preferences--what types of music you primarily listen to, as well as the type of sound you prefer--I'm sure that people can help direct you to the player that would work best for you. Also, what is your budget?
