The best sub $1000 cd player

I am building my new system. I already bought Audio Research LS2, Audio Research Cl 60 and use them to power a pair of PSB 600i. Right now, I am using the Sherwood 980 as my CD player. I am interested in your opinion regaridng the best sub $1000 cd player to go with my system.

Happy Listening.

I have a Stan Pioneer DV333. It does best most/all sub $1K players. It slightly bested my Rotel RCD990 ($1.5K list). I just picked up a Stan MSB Link DAC and Aiwa Changer combo from a friend of Stan's in Oregon. Assuming they demo out similar, the DV333 will probably go to the den system, so I can also play movies on the Sony TV in there.

Currently, I find myself choosing the Rega Planet over the Adcom GCD-750, which I chose over the Rotel 971. Of course interconnect makes a difference also. I'm currently using the Audioquest Turquoise with the Rega Planet.

I saw some Theta DSP Gen III used for sale. Will this DSP significantly improve my Sherwood 980?
