Also, Marantz has a number of players at various price points which utilize discrete (not discreet) output stages, including one (the CD5005) which lists for only $399. Also, the Bryston BCD-1 (no longer produced) has a discrete output stage.
Undoubtedly there are numerous others at all kinds of price points, at least among CD (as opposed to SACD) players, but those come to mind immediately.
