CDP better than Oppo 970HD


Hi all, I am looking for a CDP under $1000 used that can beat my current Oppo 970HD. Rega's CDP is out of the list because space issue due to top loading. Also, the player has to be less than 4" height. My system is Sim I5, Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MkII.
Thanks.

i consider the oppo, mediocre at best as a cd player and only fair, as a transport. i own one and am using it as a dvd player.

i would not consider using it as a cd player, unless it was paired with a very euphonic pre and amp. my friend had his oppo connected to an art dio, feeding a modded dyna pre and stock dyna stereo 70. the combo sounded pretty good until he replaced the oppo and dac with a sony playstation one, which he and i prefer.
