arrggh.....need a pcdp ;0)

Well, it's come down to it.

I've runned out of hard drive space. Right now I"m listening to direct rips - WAVS on my computer on my Sennheiser 545s /w Fortissimo II.

Plans for the future though? My Philips HP 910 should be here soon and depending on how I like/don't like the sound, I"m getting HD-600 level headphones /w amp.

Right now though I want to migrate from my computer to finally some audio cds. . What would be a good pcdp to have? i've tried searching the threads but have come up /w nothing.

Basically my big thing is sound quality. That's all that really matters. The second of all would be practicablity. Like I wouldn't want to buy that old Sony cd player due to the fact that I have to buy some $30+ 9V batteries for it.

I"m looking for a pcdp that I could carry around /w some skip-proof, but not like jogging. It would mainly be used for like at home and crap. Number 1 important thing: sound quality, 2: no extra crap that I want to pay for.

Recommendations? I know some of you guys are just itching to let me know what your favorite pcdp is. Please! TEll! Tell!

Sony CD Walkman DE220 (no car kit). Costs 50 bucks, and believe it or not, it sounds pretty good!

I would say either the Panasonic SL-CT570 or 470 will meet all of your criteria. I would recommend the 570 (I have both), if for no other reason, for the 10 second uncompressed anti-shock. I just got the 570 a couple of months ago for $80 from Onecall.com.
