Need advice on Budget CD player for this system...

This is/will be my 2nd system:

Conrad Johnson PV7 pre
Dyna ST 70 amp modified by John Hillig
Sound Dynamics RTS 3 speakers
Harman Kardon T403 tuner

Various interconnects left over from here and there and looking for advice also on reasonable speaker cables. I do have some old original Monster Cable???

I'm looking for a CD that would be the main source of music for this system. Would prefer to buy used as that usually gets you more bang for your buck. I'm woefully ignorant about SACD, CD players,
DAC etc.

The music would be a variety of stuff, classical for my wife and would play some rock CD's for myself. Classical, jazz, rock will be played on my main system that will be mostly analogue.

Obviously, nothing would meet all needs but what would be a good start here?

Thanks in advance.

There's a Rotel 991 on sale now at A'Gon. IMHO it's a very good player for the money.

The Philips 963sa is one of the best values around!
It has SACD AND it upsamples regular CD's.
Good Luck!

What's the budget if with the soft sounding CJ think about a used Music Hall CD-25, tons of presence clean excellent dynamics. It would probably synergize/compensate well. They run about $550 new $350 used.
