Time For a CD Player Upgrade


I've been using a Rega Saturn Mk 2.  I recently upgraded my turntable to the Mark Levinson 5105 w/ the Ortofon Quintet Black S.  In comparison my CD's are sounding overly bright.   Any thoughts on a comparable upgrade to my CD listening?  My budget is about $4000-5000, new or used.  The Hegel Viking looks interesting.  Any recommendation for an upgrade will be appreciated.

Are you looking for a regular CD player, or would you be open to adding an external DAC? In that case you would continue using your Rega as a transport, feeding the DAC with a digital cable. 

Why not keep your current player, and invest $249 in a Marigo Audio Virtuoso cd mat?  It can change your audio world…

Melloshifi you can get Marantz SACd player. The Ruby Marantz SAcd player is excellent on SACD or redbook.What cables are you using?
