Big source improvement using CD player


I borrowed a friend's esoteric dv50s CD player.  I could not believe the difference between it and streaming Spotify premium.  I am now in the market for a CD player.  One thing, the esoteric does not play DVD-R.  Can anyone recommend a comparable CD player in the used market that does? I'm looking in the $800 - $1500 range.

- Anyone comparing mp3 to CD quality either isn't serious or has never done a straight-up comparison.

- I've got an Oppo 105 that sounds great but why would I ever use it?  My CDs are ripped to AIFF and my SACDs to DSD.  My Brooklyn DAC sounds even better.  I use JRiver but if you want it simple rip it all to FLAC and use Windows' Groove Music app.
