Replacement of Cary CD player


Looking for some recommendations:
I am using tube CD player Cary CD 308T as a transport, which I own for the last 10 years and recently thinking about replacing it with dedicated CD transport. The Cary is 16-17 years old and transport can be up to 10 years old. 
I am now using Cary with Audiobyte Black Dragon DAC, Bryston  monos and with tube preamp, I love the resulting warm and very musical sound.
So if you guys replaced this Cary model with CD transport I would love to hear from you which one.
I tried Primare DD15 and NuPrime 8 Pro, both were not even close to old Cary. My budget is up to $1700USD for used transport.

Thanks georgehifi,
in your response you talked about different Cary player, my player is 308, tube version. This has only coax and toslink digital out.
This 308 plays much better with external DAC so my thinking is why to keep old CD player (I can still get decent money for it when sold) when I can get better transport (newer technology) to use with my DAC.
So only question would be which transport would be able to sound better than old tube Cary? I might end up keeping Cary as transport and play with different DACs.
I do not care about hi-res, streamers or servers. Good old CDs are for me, and rips.

Still makes for a great transport, even with RCA spdif, and that great Philips CDM-12 laser.
Put it on a large floor tile, with a half inflated kids bike/scooter innertube under it, and it will serve you well (even pull the tubes) because they aren’t used.

PS Audio DMP.  Also plays SACD.  It's a transport, so you can keep your DAC.  You'll need to get a used one, as I believe PS Audio only sells a SACD only transport now.  
I seen many friends/acquaintances that sell up on their huge CD collection to go to servers or streaming.

This is the latest <<craze>> Not a  bandwagon I will ever jump on. My 20th C classical cd collection is complete, my  Cayin cd17 Mark 1,  just finished modding ///sounds ,,superr high fidelity>> just added a  Shanling 3000 and is being upgraded /new M caps + Sparksoslab descrete op amps, ..not sure which will beat out which in <,The Great tube cdp shootout>> 
My bet is on the Shanling once mods are completed in 3 weeks. 
anyway, my suggestion is geta  Cayin CD17 Mark2, which has a incredible INDESTRUCTIBLE trans(12 yrs use /zero issues) + tube DAC. Bal/unbalnced employs 6922 in both circuits. 
You will not regret it.
