Really nice used CD players are super cheap right now. Pick a solid model which still has rubber belts available for it and you should be golden:)



Reccommend the arcam cd95 unless you’re going for some kinda dj setup then cdj’s I guess.


@midnightclubbed love to hear about some models that you think are worth looking for.


I use a Onkyo DXC390 CD player/changer (going strong after 3 years or so). Still available to buy new (albeit at a ridiculously inflated price) but should be available for ~ $100 used. DAC sounds fine to me though speakers but I have a discrete DAC/amp for headphone listening, although honestly I can't tell the difference between that and the CD player headphone socket.

I used a Yamaha CDX-450 for years, although I dint think it had digital outputs. Was built solidly. Dove deep down the Sony megachanger rabbit hole but never pulled the trigger on getting one - have a huge following though and parts/advice are readily available.
