Need Recs for CD transport $1k


I'm looking to replace my Marantz 5 CD changer for a single higher-end transport. I will be running it through a Denon 4310CI AVR, Hales Design C-5 Speakers and a Rythmik Audio 15" Sub. I want to spend less than $1K.

I want this CD player to play SACD's as well, be built to last and sound as neutral as possible. These are the options I'm considering. Any advise or suggestions are welcome.

Tpreaves, thank you for the clarification. Any advise, or suggestions? I'm now also considering the SONY SCD-XA5400E and Rega Apollo.
