Think about why you are considering changing your player. In my experience, when I'm really satisfied with the sound of a component, I don't want to change it. My guess is there's something that's not quite good enough for you somewhere. If it's only that people say good things about other players, though, is that the best reason to change?
You have good downstream gear. In my view, you could go with a much higher quality source. My own system is source-biased and that's what I like to recommend. Linn Ikemi, Sim Moon Nova, Vecteur L4, Shanling CD-T100--all quite different in sound and in price, BTW.
FWIW, my favourite economy player is the Shanling CD-S100 Mk II at CDN$999. It is IMHO at least twice as good as the (already excellent-value) Music Hall CD-25.
