I would seriously consider a brand new release-- the PS Audio Perfectwave SACD player. Haven't heard it, but they say that it's a big step up from their previous Directstream Memory Player. It's $6500, but you can trade in old equipment for up to $1950 off the retail price, or $4550. It is just a transport, you'd need a DAC to connect it to. They are using a D&M transport mechanism, so if it fails, easy to replace. If you don't need SACD, I'd take a look at the Jays Audio CDT2 Mk3 (Mk 3 new for 2021) or the Denafrips Avatar.
