>What would you call a "cd player" that's just the optical drive and outputs

That would be a CD player.

Sounds like a hassle IMO as far as dealing with navigation, etc. I assume that's what you use for blu ray as well, but a blu ray player might be more convenient with a remote and all if you have one.

You could also just get a basic dac/headphone amp and use your computer. Rip your cds to lossless and it should be the same.

This onkyo CD player has a built in dac and would have you covered as well if you are set on physical. No interference to worry about either.

Go for it!
High quality CD players go for 150-200 bucks on amazon. they're steals compared to turntables.

Onkyo C-7030 Compact Disc Player (Black)

I have no childhood connection to vinyl, none. We grew up on 8 track(lol), tapes, and cds in my household. I'm only interested in vinyl because theres still lots of good music that's never been released on CD.

Hi r/audiophile,

I'm wondering if you guys would have any CD Players you'd recommend?

My budget would be $200 at the most, or less.

Currently looking at this Onkyo C-7030.

I've never really had an audio setup of any kind, but as my cd collection is growing, I was thinking about purchasing a cd player and a pair of speakers, though I have a tight budget of $200. Something like this but with a cd player in place of the computer.This cd player really caught my eye but for that much I have no money left for speakers. I'm also not sure what kind of speakers to be looking at, or whether or not I'd need an amp for such a simple set up.
I also wanted to ask, would it be a bad idea to just get a cheap cd player from a local thrift shop and spend the rest of my money on speakers?

Sorry about that, should have specified.

Are you sure something like this sound just as good as say, this? And will all blu ray players have an aux port for headphones?

Also thanks for helping me out!

Looking for a good CD player (not portable or rackmount) for under $200.

I have a nice Marantz turntable and a Marantz HD-AMP1 that sends great signal to my Martin Logans. I have over 1000 CDs that are just gathering dust since I ripped them to FLAC.

I'd love to put the CDs on a shelf (rather than throw them away) to look pretty and to pull discs to listen to sometimes. But I have no CD player.

Since I lost my job, is it reasonable to expect good audio quality from a basic, inexpensive CD player that can plug into the back of the HD-AMP1 using a digital optical connection? I'm not sure if there are components inside the CD player that will make enough of a detectable difference.

Something under $200 if possible? The Teac, Onkyo, and Pioneer come to mind.

Thanks

$600 The 2.1 package

$180 Look, a CD player!

$400 HK-3940 Receiver

$31.50 Wire

$5.50 Optical cable


Note: HK3490 is usually cheaper, and you may find it cheaper other places on the internet. Also, you don't really need that CD Player, you can just use any ole dvd player that has an optical output.
