[QUOTE="DevillEars, post: 20924"] If you're looking at new players @ <R30k, then (according to trusty AVSA 2008 Buyer's Guide) your options - based purely on proximity to your price-point - include: a) Accuphase DP57 (R29,984) - as mentioned in your post b) Electrocompaniet PC-1 (21,500) c) Esoteric SA-10 (R24,650) d) Lyngdorf CD-1 (R24,500) e) Meridian G06 (R28,500) f) Musical Fidelity A5 (R24,900) g) Opera Consonance Droplet CDP5.0 (R22,500) - as per Cleansound input h) Pathos Digit (R27,187) i) PrimaLuna Prologue 8 (R26,995) j) Rega Saturn (R23,600) Having said that, I would suggest you also include in your "auditioning list" the Cambridge Audio Azur 840C... Yeah - I know - it's not exactly a brand-name to toss into the conversation if you're looking for "oohs and aahs" from the cognoscenti, but the 840C definitely competes way above it's nominal fighting weight - and at ~R12,000, will leave you some change to buy some decent interconnects and some music too... If you're determined to blow the budget, then I would add the Esoteric SA-10 to your current short-list... [/QUOTE]
