Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport

So I'd like to switch to a universal player to watch movies and listen to my CD's. My main concern is redbook CD performance through digital out (SPDIF or AES/EBU), not video. Even a DVD player that looks good on a 42" 720P HDTV is fine with me. Having a blu ray player would be nice but frankly I don't care too much. Faster CD loading times would also be a plus.

I currently am using an Oppo 981 DVD player as a transport. It's ok, but tends to sound a little bright compared to other dedicated CD transports I've used. The player would be used with a TACT M2150X digital amplifier so I don't need a DAC. Something under $500 used would be preferred.

Any thoughts?

PS3 at $299. toss in SACD,DVD-A, games, and internet streaming for free. Run bit direct output and let your system sort it out.

Not the Oppo. Although it is a great buy, it is not very good using digital out.

Tbg, you have any suggestions for a better CD transport option that can at least do DVD?

Dsutfin, a Denon DVD-3910. You should be able to find a used one.
