CD player and DAC

Can you guys give me some suggestions on which cd player and DAC to buy. I am thinking about buying a used Music Hall CD MMF 25 or a Marantz CD6000. For the DACs, a used Bel Canto DAC 1 or a Channel Island. Which combination would be best? If there are better products out there for the same price, let me know. I plan to spend about $800. I know this question is a bit tough, but I have been doing some reasearch for a while now and I am still not sure what to buy.

BTW the rest of my system consists of a Parasound HCA 750 and MMGs.

Thanks

I dont think you will get a better sounding front end
FOR THE MONEY than you will as DANVECT suggested. I
also would recommend a decent player with a really good
inexpensive DAC like the Bel Canto. I started with the
DAC1 and later upgraded to the DAC2 with great success.
I couldent be happier with it. I was happy with DAC1 but
couldent resist the upgrade. Check out the white paper on their web site for the DAC. It will help you to understand whats going on.

Good luck...

Phasecorrect has a good point... you could always add a
DAC for the redbook later on?
