"Chris, can you recommend to me a CD only player in the under $1K price class that will out perform my SACD 1000 on CD and sound better on CD than the Philips does on SACD?"Nope - I don't get out much and I haven't heard your SACD player either; it may be twice as good as the SACD players I've heard with CD so any comment I make would be speculation.
If you're happy with it my opinion shouldn't be worth Jack to you personally anyway, and if I WERE you I'd be considering Alex's mods as unless he's surrounded himself with sycophants it appears he's got a decent product.
"I auditioned a number of CD and SACD players under $1K and the Philips was tops on both CD and SACD. But maybe I missed something."
Maybe you did and maybe you didn't - it depends on which players you auditioned.
Of the more affordable units I've heard they've always been in friend's systems or at shows, but the Heart CDPs in particular are superb IMO."Unfortunately I am not a millionare and do not have $10K to shell out for top of the line Audio Note stuff."
Save up, have your player modded and enjoy the music.
