Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless
@amir_asr This will be my last post to you. You are acting like a petulant child. Go away, I'm not buying your BS, and no how many times you feel the need to get the last word, I don’t agree with you. I think you’d be better served if you packe... 
Best sounding CD player
Best I've ever used is probably Esoteric. It just does everything "right". I think with all of them there are pros/cons. I've yet to find one I think is perfect.    
Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless
Well put, @jerryg123 .  Mirrors what I said in the last post that our friend Amir attempted to hijack. He's pandering to people pretending to be audiophiles who are desperate to think their inexpensive gear is "just as good" when it's obvious the... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
They're cool looking. At some point though, I'd have to at least look at Tannoy.    
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
If they ask, and I know them well, I will tell them what it's insured for.....usually followed up by what I paid for everything. I don't tend to invite strangers in off the street to listen to my gear, so I doubt it's a problem. Plus, like I indi... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
Someone’s a little butt-hurt. Isn’t this the review where you hook the $400 power cable into the $500 DAC, listen through headphones, measure the heck out of it, and then claim it makes no difference?   Then you got called out on GR’s channel (... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
What it boils down to is "soul". You can’t measure, nor quantify "soul" with a MM or an oscilloscope. You’ve either got it, or you don’t. I like my way better.        
Cabling Recommendations
Some of Synergistic Research’s upper-end cables probably deserve a try-out. I assume that most of the really stupid answers in this post are simply because of the monumental ignorance of the people responding. @mrskeptic , we’re all looking dire... 
CD player suggestions...
Gonna be hard to get SEPARATES for under $800 (which was the stated budget), @allears4u .      
Pleasurably better, not measurably better
Pleasurably better sound makes me pleasure myself.

@ampus , "Not sure why the Emotiva hate from some of the posters." Well, since you asked, I will tell you my experience with the ERC-4. Purchased new/direct from Emotiva. Unit arrived with the metal faceplate for the drive tray bouncing around ... 
What's It All About?
It's all about getting laid.  
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
"What should make you upset is folks paying orders of magnitude more, only to get a less performant audio device." I think this about sums it up. Got to save the world from itself. I feel sorry for the people who blindly believe the BS you're th...

@amir_asr , Funny how you regress to passive/aggressive mannerisms when you get called out. Put the multimeter down and try listening with your ears. You might be amazed at what you discover. Go ahead and tell me that my "boutique" audio setup ... 
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
Hard pass on that one, Captain.
