Solid State CD Player under $2000

What would you consider to be the best solid state CD player (with XLR balanced outputs) money can buy for under $2000 (new or used)?

It will OUTPUT a variety of digital formats all the way up to 24 bit 192 KHz. This makes a combo with the Bryston BDA-1 very interesting as it will accept inputs up to this level as well. This allows potential bypassing of the Bryston up-sampler, going direct to its D/A.
