New cd player

Hello all,

just looking for some opinions on a cd player to replace my aging Denon dcd 3000. I do not own any sacd’s, so for now I’m looking at a newer generation Redbook only player. I do like having balanced outputs. My classe preamp has balanced inputs. Budget is around $1,500. New or used.

thanks in advance!

Do you guys even READ what the OP is looking for?

NAD C568 = No XLR

Hegel Viking CD player = $5k, not even out yet...

Technics SA-C600 = built in 30w amplifier, no XLR....

Marantz M60 = no XLR

JC, people! And I thought I was bad recommending a player that was also SACD.

This place is ridiculous, lol.

Musical Fidelity makes CD players at any price that make even older CD's sound special.  I am surprised this brand is never talked about.  No, I don't sell them. I just upgraded to one of their better models.
