Recommend CD player

Recently, I just listen to the combination of the CEC TL1 + Sonic Frontier SFD-2 MkII. The sound was supreme, very smooth and has a very dept sounstage revealed layer by layer. The price for the used combo is around $3000. However, I was thinking that the combo is old now(almost 7-8 years technology)and we should try something new for today. Has anyone here has any suggestion on what CD that has the sound characteristic like this or better?

Thank in advance for any opinion.

What about Sim Audio Equinox and/or Nova ?

The Equinox is getting some great reviews lately and has 10 years warranty.

To clarify matters.The NORTH STAR 192 combo is great but @ 5000$USD.I wanted a pair but couldn't afford it.Chalitr the 3000 asking for CEC & Sonic Frontiers I think is still a good deal.That CEC is a very solid transport.I personally like it a lot.Smooth belt drive.SF is excellent too.I would go for it.I paid about that for my used transport/DAC.
KRELL/ARC(1989-94 production pieces).One can argue about improved D/A converters but for transports I believe the older ones are more solidly build,than the current ones.I keep my eyes open for a nice KRELL reference 64 dac ,they will compete with anything out there,I hear.My two cents.
