I have found the high-end BluRay players are hands down better sounding than the best CD players. I'm even comparing with the uber expensive CD players from niche companies. This is certainly true when BluRay audio is used for source material, although there aren't many selections out there yet. The list is growing though.
I have both an Audio Note CD2.1x CD player and a Denon 3800BCDI BluRay player, by the way. The Audio Note player is really nice, well built, has tube output and uses good components throughout. It costs about $3500 new. The Denon player was the first audiophile BluRay player, and also uses good components throughout. It cost $2000 new. Both are very high quality units, but as much as the Audio Note goes the distance to make CDs sound as good as possible, it's just not as good a media as BluRay. Once you put a BluRay disk in the Denon, it sounds night and day better.
