Used CD player for 200-300

I want to purchase used cd player. I say used because I'm hoping I can get a better used player for this price than one could get new. For instance I have seen an Ultech cd player which is nearly ten years old for sale, and I have read good things about them. I thought I would ask for a few opinions. I have also toyed with the idea of using a Denon 2910 DVD player or something like it instead. A few opinions/suggestions would be nice. I'm quite tempted by the Ultech because I like simplicity, like the old phrase "less is more".

I know nothing about Ultech. A quick google search came up with very little. If you like simplicity, why not go with a universal player like a Denon 2910 or Oppo 981HD. The 2910 sounds every bit as good as a Rega Planet 2000 and its video performance is top notch. The 981HD has a strong following. It sounds great and has killer video, but its build quality and appearance are no where near the Denon.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an Arcam CD 72 for $275 here on Audiogon. I watched for something like it for about a month, checking every day, keeping in mind my price limits and brands of interest. Many of the pieces I was interested in were posted late in the evening near the weekend, so early Saturday/Sunday morning viewing yielded my best chances to contact sellers first. Good luck and happy hunting.

NAD C542 is a good choice in that range.
