Still need help for CD PLAYER .. please

I've had so many different suggestions that i can't do nothing with them..

please LIST HERE all the GOOD to excellent CD PLAYER that can be get for under 500$ USD right now..

so that way i could have a good research list, cause right now i'm lost in the multitude of cd player manufacturers..
that's why i need to know wich to look for and try, and wich not to loose my time on! :)

By the way, i tend to be really picky about sound quality, that's what i think i would be better with a ~1000$ at new value player that could be bought for 500$ or less in used but great conditoin :)

( current system is rather simple consisting of 2 Mirage OM-10 powered by and old ( but warm) AKAI receiver that will be changed for something newer ASAP ..

I don't wanna pay 1000$ for a cdplayer cause all the formats are currently evolving and i don't wanna invest into something that will not be of good use in the near future :)

THANK YOU ALL for your time..
