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...

Used to carry $1000 but now sub $100 you could pick up a decent looking one from eBay. Sound pretty good especially digi-out to a capable external dac.
