Best CD player for under $6000 used?

Do you have access to an Oracle, BOW, or M-F Trivista, Meridian, used Linn or BAT as listed above.
How about the Krell SACD STD....new for 4k.

I think the Wadia is killer though..... But would go after the Trivista or Krell or even the new Marantz SA11s1.

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of buying a Wadia 861se. I hope to see a lot of improvement over my Meridian 508.24. I think that the Wadia gives me more options, including sending it out to Great Northern Sound at some time. I looked into some of the other players--I was impressed by Bat and Audio Aero especially. Thanks again!

Why not buy an Audio Research CD3 MK2 new? It costs $5500 and I think placed next to most CD players under $30,000 will hold its own.
