Have a look at an Ayre QB-9. Given you're description as to what you want for an upgrade, I think it would be a good choice.
Update my Meridian 588?
Hi everbody, I am thinking about changing my cd player, the Meridian 588 to something better, this is my system.
Meridian 588 cd player
DK Design VS.1 Reference MK2 Integrated amp.
Amphion xenon speekers.
I really like the 588 when playing something like vigilante man with Ry Cooder on the disc Live in San Francisco.
up the volume a bit and its like being there, but sometimes I would like a bit better resolution but still with the analog and beautiful sounding blues guitar and a beautifully sounding piano where one can hear the notes decay very nicely, also I like a good reproduction of voices.
As I hope you guys can see, I like detail, but never harsh, I am more to the analog sound and sound that make you sit at a intimate concert in your living room.
I am also open for streaming from my macbook pro to a dac if you guys think I can get a better sound than I have now, I can spend between $2000 to $4000.
Hope for some replies.
Thanks.
