Best high end cd decks

What are the best high end decks currently in production? I can only come up with the eclipse 7200, alpine 9887, pioneer 880, and mcintosh 406. Any other cd players currently being made, that you can think of?

I think the Kenwood X993 is worthy of this list.

You can scratch the Pioneer Premier 880... Pioneer cancelled the entire Premier line this month.

the Pioneer DEX-P99 is still on its way I think (the North American/ Euro version of Avidedtr's and my Pioneer DEH PO1)

the DEX-P99 is awesome but too much $$ for me unfortunately. I think a 9887 might find it's way into my next car if I replace the factory deck.

Is the Eclipse CD5030 considered a "High-End" deck?

Even though the premier line is finished, I wonder if that doesn't just mean they will get rid of their 2 year warranty and keep the products anyway.

An overlooked deck is the blaupunkt bremen mp76 (I think)...whatever the new bremen model is.

It has all the TA, phase, xover, independant left right PEQ , usb, blutooth goodies. I can't see wanting anything else from this deck accept... it's only 3 way active capable. That thing is awesome. Don't know what they would go for in Canada though.
