My recollection is that it was the Sony, with a model number like CDP101 or something like that...
Oh, I know...I'll go on the Internet!!
Time Magazine: Thirty years ago today, Sony’s CDP-101 compact disc player went on sale in Japan...the CDP-101 retailed for the equivalent of around $674, which today would be around $1609. Fifty CDs were available at launch, priced between $14 and $15.25 apiece — roughly $33 to $36 today.
Follow Ups:
I still have one of those horrible sounding CDP-101's. Last time I plugged it in was a decade ago, but back then it was still working, delivering the "perfect sound" that delight people who believe that all CD players sound alike.
Perhaps now's the time to sell it on Ebay...
