older dedicated midfi cd player....2nd system

Looking for for an older, reliable, dedicated player with smooth top end, full bass, and great soundstaging...have had good luck with denon and Sony in the past...but would like to try something else...however the denon dcd 835 comes to mind...not into changers or jukeboxes...anything from 95-05 era that can be found easily on the used market?...basically a forgiving player that doesnt punish sub par recordings...I demoed the orig Rega planet years ago...but wasn't blown away...same with NAD...but they might work for this application...under 1k new models

Second the Rotel RCD-855. I have one in a second system that I purchased in 1992, which still works perfectly. The sound is smooth and well balanced, with very good definition considering its price class. You won't be disappointed if you can find one in top condition.
