YBA cd1

Hello , I'm considering a YBA cd1 with external power supplies...I know the player this fellow has was from 2002 ....way long ago ....he will no go less then 3k and I'm at an impass ...I know this player has its reputation of being very vinyl like ....I just want to know would anyone even consider a player this old for that amount when I can buy so many other newer very good players for 3k or just alottle more ....but this fellow claims nothing today will blow it away for red book cd which is what I will mainly be playing ....he feels over sampling is not as good as this player 44.1 format and blue laser plus hi performance power supply ....please any comments will help thank you very much !

Have you tried looking for the PASSION 1000 CD player. This replaced the CD1 and is really very vinyl-like quality.

I am still using this CD player for over 10 years. I also have the latest YBA model CD430. I use the later more for its DAC chip. In my mind the CD1000 PASSION  YBA is best in terms of warmth, transparency sound stage and detail.
