Here's a post I made in another forum:

In my experience, CD players all sound about the same. I know this flys in the face of a lot of opinion. Compare for yourself. I've compared cd players plugged into my current set up and haven't noticed a difference. Currently I have two CD players and a mini disc running into my pre amp. One of the CD players is JVC 100 disc changer connected to my preamp with analog interconnects. The other is a Marantz cd67se connected with a digital coaxial interconnect. I've tried the Marantz with analog interconnects too. When I match levels as closely as I can by ear, I notice no difference. I think I can hear a slight roll off of the highs with the minidic compared to the CD players but am not sure. In case you're wondering, I'm not hard of hearing. If you want to read a good article, order or pick up a copy of the April/May issue of The Sensible Sound, issue 74. On page 28 they review a $79.95 RCA carousel CD player. It was compared to much more expensive 'audiophile' CD players - no difference in sound quality. What you pay for with expensive CD players is better fit and finish, higher quality materials, pride of ownership and possible longer life. Sound quality remains solidly the same from $79.95 RCA carousel players to multi thousand dollar single drawer players.
