I prefer the sound of NAD players to Marantz in the same price range; but that's just me. I think you meant Marantz SA8005; not 8500. NAD does not have anything at that price; but the C 568 at $700 puts all of your investment into a dedicated redbook only player. No SACD.

Exemplar, the first player that I liked more than LP's.

Which one? The 5910 or the T105?

Sony if you can live with the issues of the optical drive otherwise Marrantz for Reliability.

You could get your Player mod done at a later stage but if you go down this route sometimes selling modified drives are not so easy.
