CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen


Inquiring about cd players that would mate well with a Krell KAV-300i integrated and Vandersteen 2C's. 

I'm looking for suggestions at two price points: 

$250 or less
$250-$500

Can be new or used, but I'm figuring used will give more options.

I have a Krell KST 100 power amp and Vandersteen 2 speakers. What I have is a Rotel RCD 975 as a transport and I got a great deal on a Muse 2 dac. This is a nice combo for the money with no upper mid glare  or brightness. A 975 isn't easy to find these days but Im sure other cd players ill work just as well.
OP- have you purchased yet? Curious what you're going to decide on. I was using a Krell s300-I with Vandy 2Cs and an Oppo103 and the sound was definitely bright, forward and analytical. Sold the amp, still have the Vandys and the Oppo. Also wanting to find a different CDP that's a touch warmer. Have had suggestions of looking at Marantz, Cambridge, Creek and Rega. Looking forward to hearing how your system is progressing...
