Looking for CD player

Why spend that much? Just get a new NAD player for around $500. IMO all CD players sound alike! I own five of them: CAL, Denon, Marantz, NAD and Sony. They were all bought secondhand and are still working reliably! They all sound fine! 

I also have three DVD players for movies that are also used as transports for a DAC (Weltion TEK Khadas). JVC, Toshiba and Sony 7000ES. All bought secondhand cheap! That's a route you can do! Just add a DAC + a Monoprice cable ($5). More choices here from the Topping D10 and up!

A $25 DVD player + $100 DAC + $5 digital cable will give you excellent and enjoyable sound! I kid you not! Don't listen to the audio snobs who only believe that you must spend $thousands for "great" digital sound! Not true!

If you want anywhere be near "the" best you need seperates. Start with a DAC you like.
I recommend the RME ADI 2 and the Cambridge CXC at your budget. Shop around you can find them both for $1500.
I’m listening to seperates right now - amazing.
Better than Qobuz on 5 diff streamers or LPs on 7 diff carts. To me.
