$2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105


I am looking at picking up an Oppo 105 to run directly through a Parasound P7 into a Parasound A21. My question is would I be better off buying a used Redbook CD player than spending an additional $2,000 in mods on the 105 to produce better 2 channel analog sound?

What would be the best used Redbook CD players up to $2,000 price range if this is the best course to follow?

All comments are much appreciated.

Dbphd,
Can you please provide some feedback on how the Ayre/Sony improve on Oppo's sound. Especially the Ayre, since it costs almost five times the Oppo. Did you use RCA or XLR on these players? I plan to replace my Marantz in the next 6 months or so. Hence looking for upgrades.
Thanks!
