Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok

I have Talon Perigrines,New class A Alchemist 200 WPC amp, Alchemist SS pre, Shuynata Hydra, and a Proceed CDP. The CDP is going soon. Looking for a replacement CD. Here is what is on my short list: Resolution cd50/55, Metronome CD1V, Audiomeca Keops or Obsession, Audio Analouge Maestro, or Rega Jupiter2000. I would like balanced but this is not manditory. I also have seen a CEC player in this range but know nothing about it. Any Ideas?

i have the latest audio analogue maestro cd player. warm, detailed and non digititis-inducing sound.it has balanced outputs as well. it is much better than the older maestro. i prefer it to the well-regarded marantz scd-14 and the meridian 588.
good hunting !

Your shortlist looks promising, but I would steer clear of the Audio Analogue and the Rega. The best bet of all is a CEC TL1 or TL2, matched up with a DAC like Sonic Frontiers, or from one of the manufacturers on your shortlist.

Stick to a one box player in your price range.
