Need to replace my Acurus ACD-11

Hello, I need to replace my Acurus ACD-11 cd player, which unfortunately is not functioning.

I am at a complete loss as for what players to consider at about < $2k. I listen to a wide variety of music, from the classical to the electronic.

I was considering the Bryston BCD-1, but after listening to it, I was wholly unimpressed; overall it sounded very congested.

I'm a bit lost at this point. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!!

I picked up a Anthem CD1 multi disc player for a second system and it blew away my main rig. Basically it has a 6 disc sony changer with Sonic Frontiers dac and tube output stage. Sound stage is fantastic. Very non-fatigue sound. I kept hearing stuff I never heard before on my Cd's. Drawbacks are slow clunky changer system. Fair price should be around $650. You can upgrade the tube and also upgrades are available from parts connexion.
