Well, maybe this could work,
What Hi Fi felt this bettered the Technics in overall sound and if you don’t mind the separate speakers, this may be all you need. You can get it for around $500. Their other alternative was the Naim Mu-So, which is a lot more and doesn’t play CDs.
I see DeKay beat me to it but I'll leave this up for reference.
All the best,
