C/D player

REGA ISIS Valve (used to fit into your budget )

That’s a current model, isn’t it? If it’s working, why don’t you just get a really good DAC? Goodwins has a DCS Debussy up for $5900 with warranty. Do a little haggling and take it home. I honestly don’t think that you’ll significantly better what you have by purchasing another player in the 5k range, especially if you want SACD capability.  I haven't heard the Isis, but it's gotten raves from people who own them.  But it is CD only, I believe. 

Hi
and thank you, yes it is a current model, but unfortunately it (along with my pool pump, and telephone system) got fried by lightning, I'm only interested in a c/d player, don't use computer songs or the like....
