What's Absolute Best Upsampling CD Player $2K-$3K?

I'm looking in buy a USED CD player to upgrade my system. I want to spend $2000 - $3000 for a good used upsampling CD player. My amp is Classe 401, Piega P10 speakers and Krell HTS 7.1 Pre-Pro. I'm presently using a Marantz DV8400 double-duty for audio and video. I can keep the DV8400 for DVD's and get a good dedicated CD player for red book CD's.
Thanks

I see Electrocompaniet sell, second hand, sell in your price range.
Look for the EMC 1-UP.

Jeffjarvis: Yes I've seen them. I don't know anything about them. Are you familiar with them? I think they use a spider clamp to place on top of the CD.

The EMC-1 is a wonderful sounding unit. I heard this on many occasions at a local dealer and was mightily impressed. I ultimately got the ECD-1 DAC and used this until I crossed paths with a Manley Ref DAC. For the value, the Electrocompaniet products on the used market are tough to beat.
