Big source improvement using CD player


I borrowed a friend's esoteric dv50s CD player.  I could not believe the difference between it and streaming Spotify premium.  I am now in the market for a CD player.  One thing, the esoteric does not play DVD-R.  Can anyone recommend a comparable CD player in the used market that does? I'm looking in the $800 - $1500 range.

Streamed for 2-3 weeks.  
Prefer cd and LP. 
  Vinyl to me is the best sound!
 The mild crackles, ticks, pops are pure magic to me!

 Which is why I record my LP’s to cd, and clean up a bit, but still love the vinyl tone.

 Vinyl is the only music I play which my dogs (rip) never left the room, no matter the music, metal, blues, etc, they never left my side.
laid on the couch with me, at my feet, etc!

 I would put on a cd, and within 5 minutes, they would get up, and lay in the kitchen or upstairs.

 Strange, goes to show the mellow tone and great sound of vinyl!
Have a wicked pioneer elite dv-79avi!

 Rare silver unit!

 Will use when needed!

 Love the dv-79avi
 on screen controls if needed!
  Great sounding, high quality unit!

 Have the onkyo p-308 as preamp, amazing cond!

The new Rotel flagship CD player is very,nice!

 Look at her.Cheers.

 I enjoy my cd and TT quite a lot!

only time I use my iPod is in my car or for background low volume listening.
learned my lesson. Even with the lossless stuff, the CD player always sounds better.
