Just wondered if anyone can offer me some advice on which between the Marantz DC6004 and the Pro-Ject CD Box S to buy?  Basically it's a budget buy to plug into the back of my Linn Majik DSM on odd occasions simply to spin some of the CD's I wantto keep but have no other means of playing.

So very much a budget buy for occasional use but want it to sound decent and have heard/read good things about both.  Any views on which is the better piece of kit?

I have looked at second hand but need something in silver as the rest of my stuff is silver. The only other thing I can find is the Marantz CD5004 which is about 80 quid cheaper and may be an option - not sure how superior the 6004 is?

Many thanks in advance.

If you're connecting to Linn Majik, it shouldn't matter much to be honest. Besides, you should really demo them yourself & see what you prefer.
