CD Player under $1k


I'm new to the 'boutique' world of audio equipment and I'm already hooked! Please bear with me regarding a few 'newbie' questions. I'm quite happy with my entry-level 5.1 system, but I'm looking to complete the system with various components (i.e. CD player, vinyl player, etc).
I’m looking for a CD player (Not SACD) under $1,000.

Recommendations by local dealers included NAD 565, Vega Apollo-R, Audiolab 8200CD, MOON 230D (previously CD .5) and Musical Fidelity M3CD. If anyone knows any other brands that I didn’t mention within that $1k price range, please add. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]

Current system:
Golden Ear Super Sat 50 System
• 2 Super Sat 50s
• 1 Super Sat 50c
• 2 Super Sat 3s
• 1 Forcefield 4 subwoofer
Marantz SR-6006
Audioquest (Vodka, Diamondback) cables

I'd opt for the Rega if you don't care about SACD. Excellent US service organization, something that may be an issue with certain products made outside the US.
