??? A really better one? The 840C is better. Nothing for $1000 is better, or likely just as good.
The DACs I directed you to earlier are "really better" than the Rotel, but they cost $2K to $2.5K.
I can think of other CD players for about $1500 that are better than the Rotel - like the Naim CD5i or the Moon CD1, but in about the same league or perhaps not as sophisticated as the 840C.
"Really better" for $1000 is "really" tough.
Good luck
