CD player reccomendations please

I am looking for a new digital front end that has a very nice analog sound and my budget is $1500.00 in the used market.

Here is my system:

Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp
B&K Refrence 4420 amp
Pioneer ELITE DV-59AVi universal player
B&W CDM9NT speakers

So far i have been thinking of these models:

Classe CDP1
Jolida
Rega Apollo
Marantz S8260

Any ideas? I would love to have this sorted out fairly soon.

Thanks,

You may want to include a Lector 0.6t to your list. Very nice sounding and you can tube roll. I have one connected with an audience power cord and AU24 IC. Very smooth sounding.
Good luck,

Be sure to include the Cambridge 840C on your short list. My review of it is over at AudioAsylum. Good luck!

Cambridge Audio 840C.
However in order for the Cambridge Audio 840C to really sound sweet, you have to run it with balanced interconnects. I don't know if your Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp has RCA and XLR.
Best regards,
