Looking for a CD player within the budget around 10k~15k. I have some choices in my mind as below, please comment or any better suggestion is welcome, thanks:
1. Creek - Destiny
2. Cayin - CDT-17a
3. Unison Research - CDP or CD
4. Musical Fidelity - CDA5
5. CEC - TL-51XR CD or TL53Z
6. Marantz - SA15S1
7. CD player + Benchmark Dac 1
My Cayin CDT-17a cost less than HK$ 6.xK (a few months ago). It is VERY far from your budget of 10K ~ 15K.
The Cayin CD sounds a bit Hi Fi to me. Many suggested that it is better to change the Capacitors. If you have spare money and would like to try out different tubes, this may be the second option you will go for.
I tried Telefunken ECC88, Siemens ECC88 CCA and EH that comes with the CD. I like the Siemens best.
