Consider an Emotiva ERC-3 (new). $100 over your budget but well worth it.
Second,
a NAD BEE cd player, as well as, older Pioneer Elite and Sony ES.

Happy Listening!
I didn't know CD players were genre-specific.

You could always try a "heavy, metal" unit.

I suspect for that price there will not be a huge SQ difference between different players.
