CD Player for Cary system, pls...

Hello Audio Experts! I have a Cary Cinema 6 pre, AVA Ultra 350 amp, & Marantz CC4001 cd changer system. I want better cd sound. Could I have suggestions for a better single cd player, or a DAC for use with my Marantz? Which way should I go; how much will it cost to better my sound, and which units would you all recommend, please?

TIA! Murf

There are 2 Cary CDP-1's for sale in the classifieds for $750.00 which is a great deal.No affiliation to either seller,just trying to help.

Darn, that's tempting! But I'm not..quite..ready....
Some folks here like the Rotel RCD-1520; WhatHiFi doesn't, but likes the Marantz cd6003 better. Another review didn't like the Cary so much, a little dull?
Don't know if I want to stretch for the Rotel, but...what do you experts think?
Decisions, decisions....

Check out Cambridge's line of players, they're a great bargain.

Yes, Cambridge is on my long list, but it seems to be considered "bright". Could be good in my system, though; my speakers aren't metal.
Any opinions on the Bada HD-22 or 22se, pls? It's got a tube ;-0

Hello Audio Experts!
Can anyone tell me how much space on top the Rega Apollo needs to open its lid? I hardly see anything bad written about this unit; opinions pls?
