Best CD player under $2000

I have enough cd’s to justify a new or newer one, just not home through the week to invest in streaming. Current player is a Myryad Z-122 nice little unit that has served me well. Using a Jolida FX Glass Tube DAC at the moment.

A slightly used Yamaha CD S2100 would fit into your budget, retain the current formats of your existing player (except video), and adds SACD capability and DAC inputs for increased flexibility. Check the reviews on this unit.

Are you keeping your Jolida DAC? If so are you more interested in a CD transport e.g.  Audiolab CDT 6000, Cambridge Audio CXC transport, Denafrips Avatar versus needing a CD player

Oppo makes a REALLY good CD player in your price range. Be sure to also purchase a green marker to color the edges of your CD’s!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you look for a while, you can probably find a used Bryston BCD-3 for close to that.  Excellent buy, because you have the best after-market support from Bryston.

Otherwise look for a Marantz SA-11S3.

I concur with member two left ears that you should look for a Marantz SA-11S3 player.  Sounds incredible smooth and dynamic. The build quality at 40 pounds is second to none. A great player all around. Used at $2000 is a sure steal.
