Dear Friends
I'd rather confusing to choose between 3 options of these CD Players :
1. Arcam FMJ CD17 - 192KHz / 24 Bit
2. CEC CD3300R (Revision model, using toroidal transformer) 192KHz/24 Bit
3. AUdio Analogue Paginini V.1 (96KHz/24 Bit)

My existing system now :
Speaker : Bowers and WIlkins DM603 S2
Amplifier : Roksan Kandy K2
Cables : Speaker - Cardas, Interconnect : QED

I have difficulties test on my system because of distance

There's one choice too : Cayin CD-11T (Tube)

My main music is Jazz, trio or quartet, like Oscar Peterson, Duke Ellington, Tommy Flanagan and so on

Please help me to choose and why

Many Thanks
 
I have the Arcam, but I don't know anything about the other options you list. I'm happy with the Arcam and it has been reliable thus far. Sounds great to my ears, but I've never actually done direct comparisons to other players. Sorry I can't be of more help.
 
I like your music choices. I'm sure you've considered a Roksan player to match your amp. I've not hear the Audio Analogue cdp but had one of there amps a one time and it was stunning. I like their musical house sound. I'd look deeper into a matching Roksan or Audio Analogue and amp partial to either of those 2 companies though I have no real experience with the product your considering.
