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.

Agreed with Mr. Loomisjohnson. CA CD players sound very neutraul but I have never owned one so I cannot comment on their reliability.

Oppo Blu Ray players have been known for their good sound. Again, I don't know anything about their reliability.

Denon DVD & Blu Ray players may not sound as good as NAD or CA IMO but they are quite reliable. My sister purchased a Denon CD player in 1996 when she attended UC Berkeley and that Denon CD player is still working great.

Good luck
