Help to pick redbook player


I want a player mainly for redbook CD listening, but SACD, DVD, DVD-A or changer would be a bonus. I narrowed my choices to these players. I might would have to get two players. I have no opportunity to audition most of them so I am asking your opinions which one has best redbook CD playback, perhaps in decending order:

1.Arcam CD72 - $500 used

2.ROTEL RCC-1055 CD changer $500 used

3.Yamaha DVD-S2300 SACD/DVD-A/DVD $800 new

4.Philips 963 SACD/DVD/CD 192upsampling $360 new

5.Sony 222ES changer SACD/CD $300 used

6. Rega Planet 2000 $550 used

Are they all pretty close in terms of redbook playback quality or some stand off much more? Thank you!

You may wish to consider the NAD 514 single drawer or the NAD 515 5 disc changer. They are only available used. I owned a 514 and was VERY pleased with it. The only drawback I found was the limited resolution in an absolute sense (probably not an issue when compared to others in the same price range), I loved everything else about it.
I was going to mention the Philips 963, I have heard very good things about this unit from a reliable source.
