New to 'hi-end,' looking for budget CDP


I'm new to 'hi-end' stereo and need help for my small system. I have an NAD reciever 7240PE and JMLabs Chorus 705 bookshelf speakers. I want to replace my 10+ yr old SONY 5-disc player. I'm considering a used CAL Icon or Icon MkII, or a new/used Cambridge player. I'd like to stay in the $200 -350 range. Any thoughts that might help are appreciated.

I've used older Denon 2560 and a Revox B226 with success. Both sound good on their own and both made good transports. I usually see the Revox units selling for $200 to $600 and the Denon is probably in the same range.

I've also heard great things about Pioneer PD-65 players, and there are usually several listed on Audiogon.
