I've been mucking about with an absolute honey of a CD player for a few
days. A Harman Kardon HD970. A real giant-killer for RRP AUS$599.00.
Highly recommended. Very detailed, very quiet (quieter than my test
equipment, in fact) and, IMO, extremely well priced. It will accept the
output of a transport, or it can be used as a transport on it's own
(though why you'd bother, I don't know). The DAC in this thing will
comprehensively clobber any surround sound reciever I know of. In fact,
it is clearly superior to pretty much anything I've used in my system
recently.

If you need a high end player, you would do worse than listening to this
puppy. Mind blowing value for money, IMO.

It doesn't seem to be on sale online in the US. Thanks for sharing
anyway.
