CD player reccomendations please


I am looking for a new digital front end that has a very nice analog sound and my budget is $1500.00 in the used market.

Here is my system:

Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp
B&K Refrence 4420 amp
Pioneer ELITE DV-59AVi universal player
B&W CDM9NT speakers

So far i have been thinking of these models:

Classe CDP1
Jolida
Rega Apollo
Marantz S8260

Any ideas? I would love to have this sorted out fairly soon.

Thanks,
mikewoodkozar

hold the presses. i just received today, the melody cd m10. it uses 2 6sn7 tubes and an ar5 rectifier tube. it has 2 massive power supplies and weighs 75 pounds.

i will be reviewing this player for audiophilia.com, so i can't say too much.

i suggest you audition this player before you buy anything else. the retail price is $2500.
