What's Absolute Best Upsampling CD Player $2K-$3K?

I'm looking in buy a USED CD player to upgrade my system. I want to spend $2000 - $3000 for a good used upsampling CD player. My amp is Classe 401, Piega P10 speakers and Krell HTS 7.1 Pre-Pro. I'm presently using a Marantz DV8400 double-duty for audio and video. I can keep the DV8400 for DVD's and get a good dedicated CD player for red book CD's.
Thanks

Jeffjarvis: Yes I've seen them. I don't know anything about them. Are you familiar with them? I think they use a spider clamp to place on top of the CD.

Gentlemen, you have all given me a good insight into the availability of players in the $2K-$3K range. It seems this thread drifted into the EC territory a bit. I have no issue with EC and would certainly consider it, except I don't know how convenient/inconvenient the top loading aspect with the clamp would be. Does this EC have a tube sound or more neutral sound?

Also, I am not particularly set on an upsampling CD player. I have flexiblity in that respect. Just looking to maximize my dollars. One of my concerns of a modded player is the performance and "re-saleability". Any comments and other recommendations? Thanks
