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

I have a SONY CDP 8AES that I picked up here for $65. I keep it on a night table and use it for headphone listening and it works well for these purposes. The unit is 20 years old, so when it dies out it is not like I have a lot invested in it. The 8AES is a changer.

The 7AES is not a changer. See this Ebay listing . From what I have seen over the last few months, the 7AES fetches high prices on Ebay due to the quality of its transport.

Another player to consider is the Pioneer PD 65.
