For "slightly" over $2000, you could get a Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is a KILLER CD Player at its used price. It also has digital inputs, so you could attach another digital source if you wanted. Also, it has built-in volume control if you want to try it connected directly to an amp.
The going rate for a nice used one is about $2300-2600. If you buy one, you will want to insure that it has the "newer" style transport as the original style was noisy.
