CD player recommendations under $2K used

Looking for CD player recommendations to compliment a VAC standard, VAC PA80/80, Martin Logan reQuest system. I've read glowing reviews for the Arcam CD 36 and Musical Fidelity A5. Maybe there are others. I'm thinking a neutral sound rather than a strong signature player. Musicality is important. Not dark or carmel colored, and certainly not too analytical. Great soundstage and view into the music. Alive but not too forward. Thanks, Scott

Include the Bryston BCD1 in your list to audition - recently reviewed in Stereophile. It exceeds all your stated criteria at under $2K used. Mine has stopped me from looking further, most likely permanently; it presents an involving and very satifying listening experience.
