Looking for a CD player


Dear community,
I listen to CDs only and I have owned an entry level AMC CD9 CD player for the past 15 years.
Over time I modified this unit to the max with very good results.
Now I think I am ready to move on to the next level so I am looking for a used CD player under $1,500.
One that can be further improved would be also interesting.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

The remote is absurdly large- has controls for a whole system and only a few work for the transport.
I don't mind the remote, but I'm currently still using the CXN as my DAC/streamer. In that format I think the size is more comfortable. But I could see it being really annoying if you're only using the CD player. 

If your CD player has a digital coax out, I would buy a Schiit Yggdrasil GS at $1599. I play CD’s with a Marantz U7007 Blu Ray player with my Yggdrasil and its sounds really great. 
You might want to try the Rotel RCD-1572 new for under $1,000. or the Audiolab 8300CDQ  open box @ hi-fi Heaven for $1,399.99
The DAC is key,

I run a audiolab 6000cdt into a Moon by Simaudio 280D DSD/DAC and it sounds fantastic through my Raven Blackhawk.
@sounasega That unit sounds quite nice. If you would like to sell it, let me know. :-)
