The best CD Player for the money

I need advice from someone with broad experience.
What is better to buy good digital DAC (P1A/P3A from Perpetual Technology for example about 1500$ used). I have old Arcam ALPHA6 player or maybe to buy used Wadia 830 (about 2k$), or Used SACD player from SONY (1.5k$).
Please take into consideration only quality of CD playback.

I just want to confirm the posts of Ferrari & Telescope
trade - the Music Hall MMF CD-25 is a "Must Listen" CD
player. I just bought one a few days ago; and even with
only about 12 hours of playing time it just sings! Warm,
smooth, and lots of detail.
There is a really nice guy who has a listing in the CD
section; who is selling these great units for $529.00
delivered anywhere in the lower 48 states. Get one now -
you won't regret it!

I went with a reaga Planet. Great buy for $750 new!

I 'm using the cal alpha/delta w/96-24 upgrade.sounds very good with my arc ls16 &arc100.s thru vandersteens 2ce sig's.i just recently upgraded to the orchid aes/ebu and it totally elevated the sound of this setup-more detail , air,and soundstage than i thought the cal's could deliver.great combo,and you could find it cheap,used!also upgraded to anaconda/python for the arc's,another great step towards hearing what's on these redbook's.

Stay away from transport/DAC separates.
I've owned a Linn Mimik II, and a CAL 10. I now own a Wadia 830. Nothing is better, even at higher price.
