That's a little 5.1? Are you into a hi quality but, older? Sony ES series..
They are simply one of the best.. Fairly easy to rebuild, and lots of parts that are quite custom. Corian carriers, ...

1-3K

$ for $ nothing gets close till you get into the big $$$ 4-6k, after that, I've never heard any difference...

A slightly used Yamaha CD S2100 would fit into your budget, retain the current formats of your existing player (except video), and adds SACD capability and DAC inputs for increased flexibility. Check the reviews on this unit.
