As crazy as it sounds, I'm currently using the Toshiba 3950 on a Sistrum platform with a high-end DAC with great results. This combo will cost less than $500. The 3960, the newer model, is available at Best Buy and other places. You could also try a used Kinergetics CD player. These run about $250 used and were highly regarded CDPs in their day.
