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.

I've had the Rega Apollo and it is is very good but lacks some bass which you may or may not like. I've had a dozen others but that is the only one on your list except for the one I own now: Audio Aero Prima mk2. I love my Prima. It isn't analytical like many digital sources (I don't care for clinical CD sound), has great bass foundation to give correct tone, a rich and detailed midrange, super good timber (important to me), and a wonderful top end that is detailed and exciting but not in your face or bleached out. I have yet to try an A5 although I really want to. Good luck and have fun!
