A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?

My ancient Linn Majik CD player has recently died. I only play a CD maybe once or twice a month, though I do have hundreds of them.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive good sounding replacement player? Thank you in advance...

Many thanks to everyone who has responded. I have a few requests out on Hifi Shark, so will wait patiently until something of appeal turns up. I'll let you know! Thank you again - to all!

My goodness, what a revelation! I'm running it through a Simaudio Moon 390 DAC/streamer and it far outstrips the SQ of Qobuz streaming. (Which had been my highest fidelity audio source before.) Never too old to learn a new trick...
