Replacement CD Player?


After trying to revive / replace the laser unsuccessfully on my Meridian 24bit 508 CD Player I'm resigned to finding a replacement. So what would folk recommend for a budget of $1200 - $1500 that will match up with Meridian 561 DSC and DSP5000 speakers?

If I’m only interested in using it as a CD player would the 205 be worth the extra expense over the 203?
Thanks everyone for the feedback. So I think the Oppo UDP-203 at $599 will likely fit the bill with its optical output (plus a couple of nice extra features like the USB on the front). Based on everyone's input I'm not sure the 205 is worth the extra $600?
Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. I went with the Oppo 203 and connected it to my 561 via the optical ports. 

Very pleased with the result!
