New or Old CD Player?


Let's say I have $5K, tops, to buy a CD player. I don't need digital inputs, outputs, etc. I don't need to spin SACD's. I only intend to play Redbook CD's and want a one-box solution. Would my money be better spent on a new unit, like maybe a Hegel Mohican? Or should I buy a component that was close to state of the art a decade ago? Like maybe a Simaudio 750D, or an Audio Research Reference CD8? Thoughts?

After reading several people's recommendation for the Cambridge CXC player I bought one. Audio Advisor was out of stock but I bought one from Crutchfield for the same price. $449 delivered. 
I must say it is a great player and I am very appreciative of the recommendations. It replaced a Marantz.
Thanks
