If you had 2k to 2.5k to purchase a new or used CDP, what would your choices be between these players...and why ?



These are my curent choices/selections;

Cary Audio 303/300 (used)
Music Fidelity A5.5 (used)
Musical Fidelity A1008CD (new)
Jolida jd-100 w/level 2 mod (new)
BAT VKD5se (used)


If you have other options, please fill in the blanks

I would like to get a SACD player, but the one I want is 8k new, and 4k used (Cary 306 pro), and out of range at the moment !!

Or maybe the MF kw SACD Player....also out of reach !

Whatever I get has to marry well with my other Cary Gear..(amp and pre)

I need to go to a new level in CD playback, as I am going to sell my MD-102 to finance this and my retubing of the V12 amp.


SO, whaadaya think ?!!
