Sorry to introduce a wild card, but the Klyne SK-5A here at $695 is IMHO a whole other level of machine, a clear winner if you also have vinyl. ( Its phono stage is super. ) I guess it may be out of your price range, but it preserved the detail of my Shanling CD-T100 and it would do the same with the Music Hall you have.
