Best Used CD player for under 1 K?

Which amp?! I own a Sony XA7ES & I use the variable analog
output into my Pass Aleph 3 amp. I use the fixed single ended output into an Adcom GFP750, when I'm using my Rowland Model 2 amp. The Sony does have "balanced" outputs, but they aren't variable, and aren't truly balanced anyway.
I had a Sony 7000 DVD player, & now own a 7700, the XA7ES
beat them both in the bass department-I believe it's because the power supply is more robust. The DVD players did sound as good to me everywhere else, when I tried them in my dedicted 2 channel system.
What else is in your system?

Check out Musical Fidelity A-3 CD player. New at UpscaleAudio.com for $1195. Stereophile Class B.

The Toshiba unit mentioned above sells new for 650 at onecall.com - the Pioneer PD 65 is a great player and even better transport for upgrading DACS later on - if you can find a Krell 30i on the used market it is really good.

If you like the sound of analog try Rega.
