The Oracle and Shanling CD players are absolutely beautiful. Is there anything similar to them? What do they cost?

Modern Art

Clearly the modern high-end CD player has reached the level of modern art, aesthetically speaking. Truly exquisite to look at.

If you want a good cd/sacd player without a variable output just go on Gon and get a Sony SCD-777es for about a thousand. I have been using mine for 6 years and it has never failed and still sounds good

[DrJRapp]

The beautiful TEAC Esoteric X-03 is only $7,200 (new).

The X-03 also sounds beautiful, the best I've ever heard! Whereas the Jolida tends to sound like cxxp thru the Summits due to it's unfocused midrange.

TEAC Esoteric X-03...

Jerry,

Their is a X-01 Reference on Audiogon for $7450 but new it's $13,000. Maybe the X-03 will be half as much someday on Audiogon, which could be a deal. It's good to know the X-03 actually sounds great. Auditioning is the key prior to actually purchasing - for sure...
