Big source improvement using CD player

I borrowed a friend's esoteric dv50s CD player.  I could not believe the difference between it and streaming Spotify premium.  I am now in the market for a CD player.  One thing, the esoteric does not play DVD-R.  Can anyone recommend a comparable CD player in the used market that does? I'm looking in the $800 - $1500 range.

I am not the one making the easily proven hypothesis for which you can offer no proof. Don't blame me for that. That is on you.

I don’t have to prove anything. If you’re so smart prove me wrong, Mr. Smarty Pants. 👖 Betcha can’t. So far you’ve been shooting blanks. Perfect Sound Forever. Yeah, sure, pal.

No. But it would sure be nice if you could prove you have a system.

My Esoteric SACD player with the VRDS NEO transport is one of the best transports out there used with the BB pcm1704 R to R ladder DAC gives me far better sound than streaming from any source.  If I am feeling lazy, then I use the music server, if I want to listen to my system at its best, I use the Esoteric player.  
George, am I on the right track?
