UPGRADE CDP NEED YOUR HELP

Hello,
I would like to upgrade my CDP. I have a Music Hall 25.2 currently but it just is not doing it for me. I have tried adding a Bel Canto DAC but IMO it did not take me to another level. Current system:

Musical Fidelity A5 integrated
Energy Veritas 2.3I Speakers
MH 25.5 CDP

Thinking about:

Rega Apollo / Saturn
Raysonic 125
Musical Fidelity A5
Sim audio
Audio Aero

Music:

Harem Scarem
Frank Marino
Robin Trower
Al di Meola
Widespread Panic
Micheal Schenker Group
Larry Carlton
Porcupine Tree
Camel

Most of my music as you can see is guitar drivin. I would prefer used, budget about $1500.00 or ideas for holding out for a higher end unit.

If you're out a cd player, I've been very pleased with the Cambridge Audio Azur 650C. This should perform better than your former MH CD2.5. Sadly, if you want a significant jump over that, I believe you'll be looking at at least twice your budget—used. Perhaps take the 1k and get the CD player I suggested, used. Then use what's left over to buy a decent pair of interconnects (e.g., Kimber PBJ interconnects, also used) unless you already have a decent set of interconnects. (I have such a pair, if you're interested).
