Buy a popular used brand/model. This way should you decide to sell, the loss in minimal.
Contrary to many of the cheerleaders here, many of the products' "new" and "revolutionary" features are basically window dressing. Wire is wire and very little changes year to year.
The manufacturers and buyers of these products would like you to believe otherwise.
Spend the proponderance of your money on components. Get the combination of cd player, amp, preamp, etc. that pleases your ears and then do cables.
Caveat emptor.
