Looking for a CD/Digital player

The Lounge Other Gear
#1

Looking for opinions on a rack mount (or desktop) CD/digital player to integrate into my setup.

My music gear is away from my computer and I would like a more tactile way to interact with CDs and mp3s other than my phone or tablet. Mostly, I want to have a CD/digital file queued as a reference for whatever I’m working on. I’d also appreciate the ability to scan thru and loop parts of a track and have that output ran into my mixer.

I’m open to suggestions but would rather stay off my computer if possible.

Budget is around (under) $200.

Something like this second hand?

They also have a new model but that`s even more expensive…

You could probably grab like an American dj or numark cd dj deck off eBay for under 200.
I’ve been eying this though

I’ve done something similar recently, but it’s not exactly what you’d call pro-audio…
I have loads of field recordings and bits of music I’ve done on Minidiscs that I wanted to be able to sample bits of, plus I like picking-up weird looking cassettes and CDs in charity shops that I can sample.

So I bought a small secondhand Sony micro-system thing that has CD/MD/Tape/Radio and I sample directly from the headphone out. The model I have is a CMT-M333NT (in case anyone is interested). The eBayer I bought it from couldn’t understand why I didn’t want the speakers, but thankfully in the end they didn’t send them!

That’s near perfect, plus with a “Classy rubber paint finish” how could I resist? I’ll have to see if I can find it second hand.

Thanks for the input so far, I felt there had to be something quality in the DJ department.
