Sony CDP-XE700 CD-player
The main highlight of this CD player from the new Sony series is a transport with a fixed head, over the optics of which a massive disk drive moves during playback.

Pioneer PD-306 CD-player
Soft sound, nice design, Legato Link, in a word, Pioneer. The Pioneer PD-306 cd player sounds interesting, probably thanks to the Legato Link.
