Need help choosing a new CD Player


I consider myself new to this hobby although I have dabbled a bit over the past 30 years or so.  Recently purchased a McIntosh MA252 integrated and have a set of B&W Matrix speakers (1985 - 1989 vintage) that sound pretty good .  Looking for a CD player (prefer under $1000) to replace my current Samsung DVD player.   I primarily listen to classic rock and some classical.

For this price range am looking at the following:

Marantz CD6007

Rotel CD11 Tribute or CD 14

Pro-Ject CDBox S2 Chrome

My listening room is a little odd shaped (11x 16, bay window at one end and glass wall at the other end) and I have to listen across the shorter distance due to the room configuration.

Eventually will upgrade the speakers, but for now need a CD player

Would appreciate some advice on a decent quality CD player (at this time, not interested in a CDT and DAC setup).   Thanks in advance.
