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.

You could use EAC (exact audio copy), download it for free.
Copy some CDs to a USB flash drive, stick it into the USB port in the back of your NAD C658, play some music and please share your experience??
A 256 Gb Sandisk cruiser will run you $30-35. If you have one already, this little experiment can cost you just your time. That's 365 full CDs, one for every day (except of course a leap year)

I have a Cambridge CXUHD (I know, it’s not what you specified) sounds for all intents and purposes the same on "spinning silver" as it does playing WAV files through my system. Yeah of course I do like Cambridge gear also.
