selling primare cd31, new cdp recommendations?

I have a primare cd31 that i'm selling to buy something else. It previously sat in an home theater system that i thought it sounded great it, but i only used that system for music rarely to once a month or so.

I wanted to get some more use out of it, so i recently tried hooking it up in a warmer 2 channel system i was slowly putting together for music, but it just didn't sound all THAT special to me in that system. this setup consist of modded magnepan mmg's, rogue audio 66 magnum, and an old conrad johnson sa250 amp. it does sound very good, and maybe i'm wrong to feel this way, but i wanted a little more from it.

based on what i have, can anyone make any strong recommendations without having to spend anymore than what i can get for the primare?

i've been looking into a cambridge 840c(which also has the advantage of digital ins so i can hook up a squeezebox to it.), musical fidelity a5, lector 0.6t, raysonic 128 or 168
opnions?

What don't you like about the Primare can I ask? I am familiar with the Primare gear but and not that particular player.

A good route to go if buying used is to buy the player you may want to try before selling your Primare. I have found at times that I notice a units strengths best when directly compared for a length of time in the same system. One unit may have a more involving mid band but over time it may be found that the top end is lacking etc. I did the same when I bought my Roksan player. I had four players in that I was going to replace it with but ended up realizing it was the best of the bunch. Other changes in my system brought out it's strengths. Best searching!
