The best CD Player for the money

I'll second (or third?) the Cambridge 840C.

I'll fourth or fifth the Cambridge Audio 840C. Very nice resolution, laid back, and just plain fun in my system. Of course, YMMV.

Also, McIntosh MVP871. Very nice and you get everything but Bluray. And you can get them at relatively bargain prices now (or at least you could a while back).

Wadia S7i or Linn CD12.

There are such good DACs in all price ranges, and decent used transports - you get the flexibility of playing both CDs and digital files. IMO it makes less sense these days to go the one-box CDP route. I just got the Metrum Octave which sounds great with the (old!) CAL delta transport, and totals <$1200, hard to beat sound quality at that price.

Hi,

Don't spend your money in a CD Player!
Read my article CD Player? PC Music? Naaa! Flash Memory Music.

And I promise that you will hear MUSIC much, much better than any CD Player, yes, even those who cost's thousands.
