Best used CD player around $1500?

Naim CD5x and Ayre CX-7e? Others? Will use for classical music, Levinson 27.5 amp, Counterpoint Solid 8 preamp.

Sound is much better than build-in DAC. I also try to feed DAC2 with my stock Denon DVD3910 - excellent soundstage and great sounding overall. So if you don't mind extra spot on your audio rack + a digital cable - This is the best way IMHO
