Which amp and CDP for around $1200?

I'm looking to get a dedicated CDP (preferably new) with either an integrated amp or a power amp/passive pre-amp combo (used would be fine). In total, I'm hoping to not spend much more than $1200.

I'd be most grateful for any advice or experience about what components would work well together. Especially with the latter amp option a careful matching of components is vital. (For the CDP, I'm thinking of Arcam CD73, in part because of a local dealer who's OK with home demoing and who would probably sell me one for around $600.) Thanks!

Magical:

I have had excellent results pairing the NAD C320BEE integrated amp ($400 list) with the Music Hall MMF CD25 cd player. Absolutely magical pairing ... warm, rich, detailed, and engaging sound. If ARCAM is where you are headed, the ARCAM CD 73 is designed to be paired up with the A65 integrated amp and is in the same ballpark price wise.
