As Good as a Mohican... But Used.

I’ve owned a Hegel CDP4AMk2 since 2010. It’s gotten hundreds of hours of play over the last decade. The only problem it ever had was a bit of an LED issue: a couple hundred bucks, and really just an aesthetic issue. The sound was great for the price for the time. It’s still not bad, but def has a decent amount of digitalits associated with its sound compared to higher end, more recent players.

I might be in the market for a "new" player. I’m aware of the controversy over Hegel sourcing Opera parts from China. Yet the Mohican is widely praised for its sonics. That said, I’m not sure I want to drop $5k for a Mohican. They do appear used, but not often. I recently missed one I could have purchased...

I know the Bryston has been said to be almost as good as the Mohican, and for $3500 I could buy new if I felt like it.

All that as preamble, what is out there that’s sonically as good as the Mohican on the used market for about $3k? Anything?
