Will go over $50 if there is a reason. Subject pretty much says it all.

Get the Sony DNE-300. It's $60 but the sound more than justifies busting your budget. It plays any cd I throw in the thing.
It doesn't have a line-out, however, but if you're going to connect headphones directly to it, it's what you want.

Jsut a quick bump. Do you think it's a good complement to my Senns in my signature? Only want it for work

Mostly for Jazz music.

they have the specs wrong, but upon further research that looks like the right one.

i second the d-ne300--whatever headphones you use you can equalize to get good sound.

I am not intending on getting one, but these days, what are the high end models? I hope it's not the $120 Sony's that can be found.

I mean, models where the manufacturer truely tries to produce good sound with a well built amplification stage and such. Not the cheap stuff in Sony's.

Before I make the leap to buy that $60 Sony CDP, I was just curious.
