CD player reccomendations please


I am looking for a new digital front end that has a very nice analog sound and my budget is $1500.00 in the used market.

Here is my system:

Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp
B&K Refrence 4420 amp
Pioneer ELITE DV-59AVi universal player
B&W CDM9NT speakers

So far i have been thinking of these models:

Classe CDP1
Jolida
Rega Apollo
Marantz S8260

Any ideas? I would love to have this sorted out fairly soon.

Thanks,

The Oppo DV-970HD (149.US) is insanely good , having been favorably compaired to players costing gads more.

Go to www.Oppo.com read the reviews and the buy yourself one. Use the 970 as a tool to compair other units. Most likely you will keep this gem that has more options , SOTA chips and "magic" in the music.

If you are willing to spend a grand and half you owe it to yourself. Oppo has a liberal return policy. Nothing to loose but a few bucks on s/h but I feel you will be shocked at the value for $.
No longer distributed here in the US, but you can find the Cairn Fog v.2 here used on A'gon.

This was a long time reference CDP of mine. I sold it, I regretted it and now again I am a proud owner - as soon as I put it back in the system in found what I had been missing. This player is incredibly musical IMO!
Eastern Electric MiniMax cdp, does HDCD as well...very easy to tube roll. L'wood
