CD/SACD Players

Cambridge - 840C CD Player
“ I hadn't intended to get this. I was offered it in trade for my HD-800s (plus cash), which, out of curiosity, I ended up agreeing to. I hadn't great expectations as I'd heard some less than stellar comments about the DacMagic from people who had a lot of gear experience. However, I was most pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I plugged it into my Audio-gd Phoenix, that it shared...” --Currawong
Denon DVD-3930CI A/V Combination DVD/DVDA/SACD/CD Player with Realta T2 HQV
“ I purchased this unit to replace my previous 3930 which began acting up; HDMI output began functioning sporadically, then CD functions began failing, tracking and other audio noises. I had replaced it with an Oppo 95 which I found to be bass shy. I want all my low frequencies, so I found a brand new unit on Ebay for $400 +15 ship. My previous unit was a refurb which lasted...” --King of Pangaea
Marantz SA8004 Super Audio CD/CD Player (Black)
“ Not much to say. This is firstly a high quality SACD player, with many aspects taken from Marantz's reference line. It's my only SACD player ever, but I am impressed by the detailed reproduction of the SACDs that I own. I highly recommend the Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition" SACD layer, Bjork's "Medulla", and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" as a starting point...” --obzilla
Meridian 596
“ This unit is incredibly good sounding. There is a musicality rarely found nowadays in overly trebly offerings. The details retrieval can be mind blowing, and the sound of Meridian CD player in general is world class. In its days Meridian CD player were the very best of the world. The non mystical and BS philosophy of Meridian in electronic design is backed up by the leadership of the...” --telecaster
Onkyo C-S5VL C-S5VL Super Audio CD/CD Player
“ I heard about this player from a friend and I took a chance and ordered one from amazon at a very reasonable discount. I have had the player about a week and a half and have pretty much broken the the player in to a good extent and the player sounds just wonderful.I had a denon 3930ci and compared to this onkyo it just does not have anywhere near the resloution and sound quality of...” --buson160man
Sony CDP-361
“ I bought this item at a pawn shop a few months back, and it has been a testament to Sony's integrity. I remember when this model came out. Believe I was still in high school, and for me to find it x amount of years later, used, and in great working order I believe says enough about the quality of product. It is one of Sony's regular mkt products, so don't expect high-end performance or bells...” --RGORDON

Denon DVD 2910 - DVD player
“ Started out buying it because I loved the Denon reciver I had just got, then I found out about the DACs (Burr Brown PCM/DSD 1764) and that was that. ” --kem088
TEAC PD-H600 Reference 600 Series CD Player
“ I didn't think of TEAC when I began searching for a dedicated CD player. My initial short list included Denon, Cambridge, Marantz, Onkyo. The Teac intrigued me, so I went for it. It is very solid, minimalist, super quiet. I haven't gotten into SACDs, so that wasn't a need. However, the Teac plays some compressed formats, in case I want some long uninterrupted listening sessions. It has...” --gonkulator
Cambridge Audio Azur 640C V2
“ A very nice budget CDP and an ideal introduction to what can be achieved with a good quality source. Now replaced with the Azur 650C which is a better performer, but at a higher price. ” --Stoin
