The best CD Player for the money

ARE U STILL LOOKING FOR THAT CD PLAYER

I've been happy with my Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD for many years. 24/96 up sampling and a Sony based mechanism and pick up. Was previously a Stereophile recommended class A player and can be had on the cheap now for about $500. OR get a cheap transport (Sony DVP-S7000?)and a nice DAC from Schiit?

The Emotiva ERC-3. Good build and good sound. Long warranty. With music servers coming more the music option for playback for many, looking for a good, last cd player makes good sense too me.

The OPPO players would be nice as well.

I guess the question is still relevant among streaming and computer audio,

I listened to a EMM Labs CDSA-SE and it took less then 5 minutes to realize what a fantastic digital player it is especially for a used price of $4,000.00, look for the later models with the German built transport .

I have listened to the popular players of the day even the modified ones at all prices used from $2000.00 and up then $10,000.00 plus players,, just for the fun of it.

The striking performance of the EMM Labs along with the used going price IS to my ears the best game in town by a good margin.

Well not sure about the best cd for the money hard way to analyze the sound, I use a sim moon audio 300D Dac and a Cambridge audio Azure 540cd player as a ttransporter. I have a love hate relationship with it , not sure how important the digital cable I use kimber d30 $135 canadin and wireworld equinox 7s as a front end was going or thinking of upgrade the equinox 7s for there Eclipse 7s ,, dillema , mybe a better Transporter , as the300D is a good Dac , any ssuggestions , best OWLY
