Hi again, after my previous post was very well answered, and reading a few here it seems there are some very knowlegable people on these forums, I thought I'd pose this rather tough question.

I have a 568, I use it as my preamp for everything (I have a Samsung 960 DVD player, and a Freeview and HDD recorder)... however CD playback is just as important, or maybe more-so than anything else.

Now it is only recently I've revived my system, and the last good CD player i owned was a Marantz 63 KISig, which was sold many years ago.

I've not had a good CD player for YEARS, I thought that DVD's would play them just the same, but it seems you need to spend mega money to get this.

Now to my question. I've just bought a house, I am SKINT... however I'd still really love to get hold of an old (but good) CD player... a transport would be perfect, but it could be a full player with a digital output to goto my 568.

Does anyone have any idea of what would be a complete bargain basement CD transport or player (with digi out)... maybe one of the OLD Meridian models?

Just as a guide, I'm talking about say upto �100 for it, preferably less!

I know its a tall order, but thought I'd see what you people think.

Thanks in advance.
