recommendations for a sub $2000 cdp

Hi

I'm looking to upgrade my current RAM modded Esound E5 player.
I'm in the market for a unit up to $2000 (used or new) and looking for recommendations.

How about a used cary 303/300 ?

my current setup - JRDG 201 amps (also shanling sp-80 for tube)/lector zoe pre/usher 6371 speakers.

All responses are welcome.

It's mainly redbook (classical/jazz/rock).

Anyone had the chance to match the ARC cd3 with the cary 303/300 and also the MF A5 ?

There just happens to be a Resolution Audio Opus 21 for sale for $1,750 here on Audiogon. Check the online reviews for this cdp and you'll find nothing but glowing reviews. I've owned one for a few years now, and I have no desire to upgrade beyond it. IMHO, it is a true example of a best bang for the buck cdp.

(BTW, I have no connection to the seller.)

Good Luck in your search!

sony 5800. sony will be around five years from today after the warranty expiers. I have heard the ARC and found the sony more pleasing to my ears, plus it is a great value.
