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...

Replaced a highly rated Sony NS. Noticeably improved my system. Originally purchased because my DAC only had a USB input. And the Shanling had USB out. I have no regrets.
