Which sub $2k CD player would you recommend?

Rega Saturn
Cambridge 840c
NAD Master 05 SACD/CD
Bel Canto CD-1
Other??????

All of these can be had either new or used for under $2k. I am looking for an "esoteric X-01 or X-03" kind of sound. meaning I want details, transparency and bass slam. Not a rounded out or smoothed sound that loses details. Thanks!

Thanks...I don't want to get a modded player, just looking for something stock but very good. How about the Meridien players? I noticed some G06 and G07s out there.

I know this is an older player, but I love the sound of the Meridian 508.24.

Spend $1000.00 on a good CD player and the other $1000.00 on a pair of "The Phoenix" interconnect cables, Better than Transparent Audio Reference cables or MIT'S( which are great cables)at 1/10th the cost. If you hook-up a $500.00 CD player with them, it sound like a 2K player or better. Jim C.
