I'll leave this here...
Audiolab 6000CDT.
I use mine with a 6K Dac, a power cable that's 3 times its price, and...its in good company.
Buy with confidence.
User reviews over on Audiogon and Steve Hoffman (American) forums say it leaves the Cyrus in its wake.
Did a LOT of research before i bought one, spent a lot of money (previously) on my "final" music CD spinner https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...ajor-Oppo-mods
but the Audiolab kept getting my attention, and it sounds better playing CDs.
Its a future classic IMO, astonishing sounding thing, highly recommended.
Hope this helps.
