Recommend me a CD player
I want a dedicated cd player. No Dvd, BluRay, Streaming, yadda yadda...
just a dedicated cd player that I don't have to put the tv on and go through the menus in order for it to start playing the cd. I also want something vintage (80's) and built like a tank, but not entirely necessary, but the rarer the better. An optical or coax out is preferred because I want to buy the Emotiva DAC to go with it.

Buy an used Marantz off of eBay. They have a great sound, well-built and go for reasonable prices.

Ignoring the rest of your post - and I'm not arguing for or against any purchase - I wanted to say that I've never had a DVD player or Blu-ray player that required this. Certainly neither of my current panasonic players do.Originally Posted by 96cobra10101

Agreed.
All of my DVD/BluRay players just play CDs with no menu selection required.

I have a couple of 80s CD players that I don't think I will have a use for. Both are built like tanks.
One is a top end Denon.
The other is a top end Revox that I have had since new 1984. There is a mechanical problem with this one at the moment, but I'm sure I can fix it fairly easily.
Let me know if you are interested.

If you are using an outboad DAC, any CD player with a working digital out will sufficie. As long as the external DAC can differentiate the ones and zeros, they will be equally reproduced irrespective of "transport" used.
If you intend to use the analog outs on said player, the onboard DAC comes into play. In this case, I'd recommend an used Denon 3910.

Exactly what I was going to say. Doesn't matter if it is built like a tank or rare, with an external DAC it will sound no different.

Yep another vote for Denon. I have a 5 disc changer for about 20 years no problem at all. DCM-320 is my model. Oh look one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Denon-DCM-32...#ht_500wt_1287

No it doesn't do it all the the time, but depending if it connects to the internet or not is when it does it. It downloads the titles and album image, and also it takes what seems like forever for it to boot up. I realize this isn't an necessity, but it is something I want to do "just because". Also, everytime I turn on my bluray it turns the TV on, and if I turn my TV off, the player shuts off. And yes I know I can bypass this, or by a CD player.

Which is often the best reason.
