What Is The Best CD Changer Player Out There?

I'm looking to add a "secondary" CD Changer to my main system. For those times when I'm in and out of a room, but want good, clean sound. A player that not only sounds good, but is also mechanically reliable. Player price on the used market should not exceed around $1500, and the McIntosh is not in consideration at this time. My system is comprised of a Classe CA401 amp, Krell HTS 7.1 pre-pro & Piega P10 speakers. All input welcomed.

A relatively inexpensive changer that sounds unusually good is the Decware DEC-685. This is a modified Sony DVP 685 changer and is now discontinued. However, I believe Decware may still have some for sale. I have had one for over a year without any problem. It works well as a player or transport. The modification implemented is merely adding a tube stage to the output of the decoder chip and bypassing all conditioning and hardware filter circuits.
