recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750

I've bought a lot of used gear over the years but one thing I steer clear of is anything that uses an optical drive...... The Marantz players are good,  l just bought an OPPO 103D to use as a universal transport and it's a great machine.  I use it with a DAC but often times I use it's analog outs to take advantage of it's variable output and to listen to HDCDs and it sounds pretty damn good as a stand alone unit.

I agree with jakeman on the Emotiva ERC-3. I have one and nothing will beat it in the price range we're talking about. 

No affiliation with the seller but a member just listed a Bel Canto PL-1a on here for $750.00. That is a great deal. It was a $ 7,500.00 Stereophile class A+ rated player that can also play DVD-A’s and SACD. I have it’s little brother the PL-2 and it is a great player, which originally sold for $5,000.00, that can be usually found for about $600.00. For another $150.00, you would be getting an awesome player!

For $300 you can get a used Rotel RC-1072 - a true giant killer.
