Best Cd Player under $4000?

Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
The quality of Audio is better in Blue Ray because Blue Ray discs usually have lossless audio. In addition, the video bitrate is much higher than DVD. You will be able to make out the differences better if you have a large screen (50"+ screen size...
