CD Player Recommendations…

Looking for CD player recommendations that mate well with a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and Revel F30 speakers. Cabling is Discovery Essential speaker cables and matching Essence interconnects. I’m thinking the player should be on the neutral to perhaps slightly recessed/relaxed mids to synergize with the A308 and F30’s more forward characteristics.

@jafant  the CD32 is long gone but I certainly enjoyed using it. Great value on the used market. I went to Ayon after that...I'm now using CXC transport with W4S Anniversary DAC which is a fantastic combo.

Thank you for the follow up. I have not heard an Ayon spinner.
The CXC transport is highly regarded around the Audio forums.

How does the Ayon and CXC stack up against a Primare?

Happy Listening!

The venerable Yamaha CD-S1000 is a well built and good sounding CD/SACD player. Not the most immediate sounding player but it’s presentation will always serve the music. Think sum of the parts rather than individual parts.

I have a Sony DVP-NS999ES with ModWright modifications that include a tube output stage.  It's a nice unit that sounds very good and doubles as a DVD player.  These can be found for about $1K in the used market.
