A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?

I have Audiolab 6000cdt. Decent transport. Very affordable on a used market. 

I have a Marantz CD6006, Pioneer Elite DV-45A, and NAD C542 sitting in boxes.  I've never directly compared them. 

I had the Marantz in my main system for a while. It got excellent reviews.  I'd say it's nice for the money, but on the warm side in my opinion.  Might be perfect if your system is a tad bright. 

My Denon DCD-1700NE was a big step up, but probably not in the low cost category. 

hbarrel: transport only might be the best bang for the buck. (I bought the Majik because the transport mechanism was machined in Scotland by Linn!)

At the risk of sounding trite, what does it sound like?

Thanks for another good idea... 

@tsampa better than all the CD players I have owned. 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.  

I would like to suggest that when a Shortlist is produced or a CDP is selected that is looking to be your Objective to acquire, furthering the investigation is done prior to the purchase.

Used CDP's can live on for a  very ling time if the Part are available to support them when required. Some Models are valued and up to date parts are discovered by advocates that are exchangeable.

It will not take long to learn how a CDP Model can be kept in its finest working fettle.

The Linn Majik may be discovered to be repairable without Linn involved?
