CD Player/Transport Recommendation?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a used player/transport for my Krell HTS/KAV-1500/Thiel 3.6 theater/stereo system. I'm currently using a Rotel 965BX as a transport into the HTS digital, but I consider the Rotel to be the weak link. I'm considering the analog bypass option on the HTS when it becomes available. How much would I gain with a better player? or transport? or player with analog volume directly into the amp and forget the bypass? I live about 5 hours from the big city, so I don't get to audition much equipment. Any suggestions and/or equipment recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I stumbled onto this the other day.
If you search the web (try yahoo shopping) for an outfit called the "Refurb Warehouse" you should be able to find where they have a closeout special on B stock Parasound CBD 2000 cd player/transport for $600. While I have not heard this particular unit, I own an earlier version of it which is a transport only. I have tried several transports priced under $2k and the only one that I have found will give the Parasound competition is a Theta Data Basic.
