The musicality is the ability of a device to make music.
it's something obvious when you listen and that you can't mesure of course!

Nad player + nad amp is the smallest budget system i advice. Put a pair of bookshelf mission on it, QED cables and a few accesories and you'll be happy.

I've got a 512 to sell (the smallest) since i've bought
a drive/converter ensemble. But i was using the Nad with a high end system and it was good.

Yup just using the NAD with an NAD amp with a good head phone set when i listen to music normally...then i use the Main stereo when i am alone in the house

Here are some advices on good brands for affordable integrated Cd players (from 300€ to 3000€)

Nad
The cheapest among the good ones. Neutral and very musical.



Rotel
Close to Nad, but more precise and dynamic.



Rega (planet)
Warm and analog sounding. Very musical.



Naim (CD5)Dynamic and thick sound, good for rock.



Creek -another good english brand-very musical



Arcam - Neutral, dynamic and detailed.
The Cd33 below is the biggest of the brand.
