Advice on buying good CD player that will outperform my Primare cd31

Hello everyone,
I'm currently thinking about changing the cd player and I would appreciate if someone has good advice on buying good red book player that will outperform my Primare cd31.
The budget is around 2000-2500eur and second hand devices are wellcome...
The rest of the system is integrated amp. Bladelius Thor mk3 novitas and Vienna acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand.

I have a Primare I32 and an EVS modded Oppo BDP-105D. It's a very nice combo; but I'd love to hear a Primare-to-Primare to compare.

Excellent suggestions as above. If you enjoy the Primare sound go for a CD35 player.  Keep me posted on the player(s) that you audition.

Happy Listening!

If possible I’d recommend auditioning the Line Magnetic LM-515CD. This fabulous CDP just replaced my longtime spinner of choice the venerable Linn Ikemi. At $2450.00 MSRP I consider the 515 to be an incredible bargain.

miko –

I have been using an Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP for over 15 years now, and remain very happy with it.

I have used it with Jeff Rowland Concentra and Accuphase E-303x amps, and with Green Mountain Audio and (now) Harbeth speakers.
