OK, here's the score.......
I have a couple of options now on CD players. Used Leema Antila Mk1 in original box and i'm told excellent condition, with original bits and bobs at about 8yrs old - £650 Used Leema Antila IIs Eco, 24mths manufacturer warranty, Free delivery, under a year old, maybe only months old - £1500. Expensive stuff being sold used doesn't worry me ever, a lot of it has being lovingly cared for with no expense spared, and the equipment has been run in for you so should be sounding it's best. Either way they both look to be good CD players so..... Which one?

It probably comes down to the size of your pocket. I am not conversant with either machine so can't comment from that point of view.

Having heard both, the mkII is better and the eco touch is nice. However, Leema stuff is built like a tank and will probably be the cockroach CD spinner of choice post-apocalypse, begging the question, is the mkII worth that much more to you? I'd if you're after your least ever player, I'd go the MkII though, as I'd assume all things being equal it will be around longer than the older player.

I've just spotted another player - Rega Saturn-R. Does anyone have one of these or used one before that can offer some thoughts on this player.

Seeing as though you'll be running it into your Majestic to perform DAC duties, why not just get the Cyrus? They have a really good reputation as transports and you won't be worrying about the internal DAC quality. Indeed, they still build a specialist transport, so you don't need to pay for the DAC and analogue output sections.
