Looking for a CD player

Dear community,
I listen to CDs only and I have owned an entry level AMC CD9 CD player for the past 15 years.
Over time I modified this unit to the max with very good results.
Now I think I am ready to move on to the next level so I am looking for a used CD player under $1,500.
One that can be further improved would be also interesting.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi sounasega,

I'm currently using a Focusrite Clarett 4Pro DAC from a PC lossless source and an Intona  galvanic isolation device...the combo in the neighborhood of $900.  The Clarett affords options of balanced, unbalanced and subwoofer(s) usage.  As a passionate 40+ year music lover, my advisors claim $3k+ would be required to substantially better this performance.  Good luck!  More Peace, Pin

Resolution Audio Opus 21 (4XPCM1704 R2R ladder d/a converters).
Hmmm very nice, last "best" (PCM1704) of the R2R ladder dacs before the discrete ones.
There is one on Agon for sale https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa3dch-resolution-audio-opus-21-system-cd-sacd-players
And there are a couple for sale on hifi shark https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=opus+21

Cheers George
