Recommendations of CD player for my system


Basically trying to beat it around the bush, skip the ongoing process of trying numerous cd players. Maybe by listing what I own so far, you could throw me some suggestions. Mind you, I'm happy with the way it sounds now, but we all know, it's an unfinish quest......
Systems as follows:
Pre-Amp: Myryad MDP500 Powe Amp: Bryston 9BST
CD Player: REGA PLANET( orig.) DVD: Pioneer DV-05
Speakers: Magnepan 1.6. I was thinking of getting, Meridian 506-20, or 506-24, for they come up on Audiogon at an affordable price. Is the REGA sufficient for what I have, or by getting, "higher end" player be an over kill for this set up.
Any comments would be greately apreciated.

Ivanj, thank you for taking the time to answer me. I've looked up that website that you suggested. They primarily showed, Sony products. Is that what you recommend. Also, I mostly listen to jazz, and most of the cd's that I get, are usually from the 30's, 40's and 50's......
Thank you very much, for all your responses. I'll have to ponder now, and come up with, i guess, as to which cd player I should go for, or stay with what I have. I've had some considerable positive feedbacks, as far as keeping the Rega in my system, due to the fact that I tend to listen to lot of those older jazz recordings. Now refering to Socrates, and Ivanj comments about dumping the Myryad comes as a complete surprise to me. I was very hesitant at first before buying the myryad MDP-500. I did some research on it and read numerous reviews, and they were all favorable.
My first choice was the Bryston SP1.5 or 1.7, but the price was too high. Maybe you guys can suggest something.
thank you.

Thank you for being up to date with my, what it seems never ending questions. It's funny you should mention EAD, for they were one of my first choices. I wanted to get one of their multi channel power amp, preferrably the 200 series, but none were available on Audiogon at the time, and of course my choice ran to the Bryston 9B ST, wchich ended up to be a very good choice. Being that the Bryston's pre being so expensive, it seems a distant dream. Ead's are up there in price, but don't seem to keep their resale value like the Bryston. Which on of the EAD do you own.
