Hi there; I've been lurking here for a little bit, doing some research and such, but I thought some input from others would be helpful. Also, apologies if this isn't the best place for this topic, I looked around and couldn't find a spot that seemed better.
So I recently got out of school and entered the real world. My job has some rather restrictive policies due to the sensitive nature of the work, which means I can't bring in a wide array of electronic devices, including cell phones, computers, and USB drives or hard disks. That last bit of course includes DAPs, which puts me in a bind. We are, however, allowed to have radios/CD players, so that's a relief.
I'm trying to find a decent CD player I can bring in and hook up a decent set of closed headphones too, possibly with an amp but probably not right away. I'd ideally like something that can play MP3 CDs too, just so I don't have to be changing discs all day. I've looked at some dedicated components, but many don't seem to support MP3s. I've mainly been focusing on mini-systems or similar sized components, such as the Sony CMT-BX20i, Sharp XL-DH259N, Yamaha CRX-330, or the Denon D-M38. The higher-end ones do seem kind of expensive for something that's just going to be used at work, but I do spend a lot of time there, and it is noisy, so being able to drown that out would be nice. I've also considered a PCDP, but there don't seem to be many options for those on the market these days.
I'm open to any and all advice on what types of components I should be looking for and recommendations on particular models.
Thanks everyone!
