best cd-player compatible with Denon AVR-X3600H

[Miley Cyprus]

Hi there,
Newbie here. Recently I started collecting CD's again and I wondered which cd-player would be a great match for my Denon AVR-X3600H? Technically these players don't need an in-build DAC since the AVR already has that, right? What are some good options then?
Thanks in advance!

since you have AVR, I assume you have home theater setup and not dedicated stereo step.
It's better you look for Blu-ray player, it can serve you as CD player and also to watch movies blu-ray.

Technically correct. But when you compare DAC performance of a cdp, it will be better than that of Denon. CD player is made for dedicated stereo music playing and will have better implementation of DAC than that of AVR.

In my experience Marantz cdp's are very choosy regarding reading CD's though they do sound good.

The Audiolab CDT is a great option. It's a CD transport (without a DAC) and rock solid at that! Sounds fantastic too

What will be better CD Player or CD Transport, if we already have an external DAC such as Schiit Modi 3+? Any particular model suggestion?

A bluray player to connect to the AVR via hdmi will be one solution. Try getting a older pioneer or Sony bluray player as they were well built. If you can spring for a oppo, any of their models make great players or transports. I keep a old pioneer BDP-450 as a backup to my primary cd player. It doesn't have a in built dac and is transport only. But is sufficient for my needs.

Yeah the oppo is really good. But if you are asking if iam interested in one... Then thanks for the offer, I value domestic harmony more than sound quality. And my wife keeps reminding me that iam just one box away from sleeping on the streets

When it comes to CD players, you have a wide range of options depending on your budget and specific preferences. Here are a few recommendations for CD players that would work well with your Denon AVR-X3600H:

Marantz CD6006: This is a highly regarded CD player known for its excellent audio performance. It offers a balanced and detailed sound, and it has a USB port for connecting external devices.

Cambridge Audio CXC: Another popular choice, the CXC is a dedicated CD transport that focuses on delivering accurate CD playback. It's built with high-quality components and offers a smooth and detailed sound.

Yamaha CD-S2100: If you're looking for a higher-end option, the CD-S2100 from Yamaha is worth considering. It features a robust build quality and meticulous attention to detail, providing a premium audio experience.

Sony CDP-CE500: If you prefer a multi-disc CD player, the CDP-CE500 is a reliable and affordable option. It can hold up to five discs and offers convenient playback features.

The same with Denon. Regret selling off my Yamaha CDC to be replaced by Denon. Any CD used to play on it even with a little scratch. Denon is a pain. So ripped all CDs and all music resides on NAS or laptop

Same here Subbu, missing my earlier Pioneer PD S802 which was stellar.

Denon and Marantz are now with the same company. Not sure if the design is same. Must be like Toyota & Lexus or Nissan & Infinity - same basic components but some are of higher quality

Look at AudioLab 6000CDT an excellent CD transport, read all CDs without fuss. I have been using it from last 3 years.
