I'm looking for a CD player with a small footprint to use on a built-in bookshelf in my living room with my AudioEngine A2+ speakers. Currently, I have an iPod connected to the speakers and find I'm really missing a CD player there. The smaller the better, but somewhere around 8"x8" or maybe 10"x10" would work.
The players I've seen so far that look like they would work are:
Pro-ject Maia CD
Pro-ject CD Box S
Teac PD-301
Does anyone have experience with any of these players or any others? I don't need Bluetooth or SACD capabilities, but if it could play FLAC from a USB drive, that would be great.
Since the ones listed above cost about $400, I'd like to set that at my budget. The Pro-ject players can be found for less as demo units.
Does anyone know the difference between the two Pro-ject players? I see the Maia has optical SPDIF while the CD Box S has coaxial SPDIF, but is there anything else different about them?
