What CD player compares to NAD C545BEE?

My 4th NAD CD player just died. My dealer has so far kept replacing them. But I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a player in the $500.00 range that is sonicly equal or better than the 545 and is reliable. I like the 545 sonicly. It has absolutely no electronic glare. I realize it's a little dead-sounding, but that's ok with me. Dead is easy on my ears. This new thread is probably a little redundant but I like to narrow things down.

Thanks for feedback on NAD. Must be bad chips over and over again. Will check out Rotel. Thanks.

I got a Musical Fidelity v-dac for $299. at audioadvisor and am using my hk hd7600 for transport. The hd7600 is the only high quality player hk ever made. It weighs about 15 lbs and was advised it would make a good enough transport. The dac is only 24 hrs old and breaking in, but it's like getting my ears cleaned. The NAD was easy on the ears, but this has clarity and definition and tight bass. What an upgrade.!
