Quality Redbook CDP - Your Advice Needed Please

Hello,

I need to upgrade the source in my high end headphone listening system. I am looking for a high quality redbook player (though I would prefer a great universal player that added SACD and DVD-A but that neither seems to exist or be likely to anytime soon). I do have some specific requirements that include the fact that the unit in question must include remaining track time, remaining cd time, and allow fast forwarding within a track, in either direction from the front panel.My budget is $2500.00 or less either new or used would be fine.
At this point in my research, the following are possible contenders assuming the meet my needs and your recommendations. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts, wisdom, advice, and suggestions regarding the best options available. Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Electrocompaniet EMC I UP 24-192
Musical Fidelity A308
SimAudio Moon Nova
Meridian 508.24
Wadia 850
Arcam CD33T

Platsolos, I haven't hear the Res Audio. What have you compared the Opus 21 to, and how would you describe it? I've been curious about it but it's so new I can't find much on it. Haven't seen any for sale used either.

From the players listed, I personally would go with the Wadia, great sound and great build quality.
