    can you recommend best buy digital red book CD Player under 10000$?

    I love analog like sound with laidback and smooth sound.
    I don't like forward and tizzy sound and i don't like tube like sound and i love neutral and human like presence.

    i have krell amplifier and dynaudio speaker (may be upgrade to wilson sophia).

    Amir,

    Thought you had a very nice Accuphase CD player? Why do you want to change it?

    Regards,

    Stuart.

    My Teac VRDS25 & Benchmark DAC1 has to be the biggest bargain front end ever, imho. It seems like there's a zero missing from the price.

    But for you, if you love things very smooth, try a Resolution Audio Opus 21 - yummy.

    Personally I like a transparent front, with a slightly mild smoothing from a valve pre. Same sort of presentation, but hopefully with more detail. I'm checking out BAT soon.

    I read in reviews that wadia is a little forward in mid/high and it may be supperior match to tube pre and solid power and not good for solid pre/power.

    Amir,

    Your Accuphase is very smooth sounding already, maybe you should just enjoy the music? :p

    bad matching in electronics from amp/speaker and speaker cable and bad tonal balance in all of my system.

    Accuphase is supperior with tube amps.

    amir, you are quite right.

    the accuphase is wrong for you. You definately should give it to me, as I have valve amps.

    long listenning to digital source is so important, most players sound ok at first month but in long term sound lose magic to your ears

    Ive heard the accuphase is very very good. People often describe it as neutral sounding (havent heard it personally).

    Perhaps a warmer sounding amp (would be my choice), or a warmer sounding cdp ?
