CD Player under $1k

I'm new to the 'boutique' world of audio equipment and I'm already hooked! Please bear with me regarding a few 'newbie' questions. I'm quite happy with my entry-level 5.1 system, but I'm looking to complete the system with various components (i.e. CD player, vinyl player, etc).
I’m looking for a CD player (Not SACD) under $1,000.

Recommendations by local dealers included NAD 565, Vega Apollo-R, Audiolab 8200CD, MOON 230D (previously CD .5) and Musical Fidelity M3CD. If anyone knows any other brands that I didn’t mention within that $1k price range, please add. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me at SHeaney85@gmail.com

Current system:
Golden Ear Super Sat 50 System
• 2 Super Sat 50s
• 1 Super Sat 50c
• 2 Super Sat 3s
• 1 Forcefield 4 subwoofer
Marantz SR-6006
Audioquest (Vodka, Diamondback) cables

OPPO BDP-95 which lists for $995

or its upcoming replacement the BDP-105 which will list for $1199

Either unit will play anything (CD, DVD-A, SACD, etc.) and sound exceptionally good doing it.

The Oppo 95 kills anything under $1,000. It'll play anything and it has wifi music streaming on top of all that. You might even find a used one now that it's being replace with a newer model.

Ejlif: I also had a Meridian 508.24. The Arcam Alpha 9 is the better value.
