WTD: Nice CD player - Around £200

[dicy]

Hi All

Fancy a bit of a change in the office system, I have enjoyed my Sony XA20ES, but looking for something else to try.

Budget is £200, but could go a bit higher (and happy to go lower) for something interesting. A Rega Apollo in good nick would be nice

Cheers

Rich

Hi Andy, thanks for offering - both super players. Unfortunately I've had to put things on hold for now

H Rich,

Some time ago I was looking for a good CD player at a similar budget having had a Rega Apollo R. After much research and advice I ended up with a Denon DCD520AE and it is remarkable.It is detailed, neutral and dynamic. IMHO it is worth a listen.

My conclusion you don't have to go secondhand at this budget to get a really good sound.

Good luck with your search!
