For the money only go out and get a $35 DVD player from Sam's Club. Bring it home and stick some soft rubbery feet on the bottom and some weight on the top (10-15 Lbs.). This will sound about 80% as good as any $500 player (IMO).
The NAD 565BEE will outperform a $35 cdp by leaps and bounds. I don't understand the previous comment at all.

...and then what? Stick it in a broom closet and go back to playing record? Just kidding.

Or in the words of one of my favorite audio writers back in 2004 I think, So there are lots of early Amps, early Speakers, and early Turntables that are considered to be classics, and are there any early CD players that are now classics? No, because they all sound like shite.

Happy Listening!
There are many excellent players on the market today. The "classic" players are the current ones. If you were to try an original phonograph it would sound crappy also. CD players have come a long way since the 80's.
