CD Player for Cary system, pls...

Hello Audio Experts! I have a Cary Cinema 6 pre, AVA Ultra 350 amp, & Marantz CC4001 cd changer system. I want better cd sound. Could I have suggestions for a better single cd player, or a DAC for use with my Marantz? Which way should I go; how much will it cost to better my sound, and which units would you all recommend, please?

TIA! Murf

Darn, that's tempting! But I'm not..quite..ready....
Some folks here like the Rotel RCD-1520; WhatHiFi doesn't, but likes the Marantz cd6003 better. Another review didn't like the Cary so much, a little dull?
Don't know if I want to stretch for the Rotel, but...what do you experts think?
Decisions, decisions....

TIA! Murf

Check out Cambridge's line of players, they're a great bargain.

Yes, Cambridge is on my long list, but it seems to be considered "bright". Could be good in my system, though; my speakers aren't metal.
Any opinions on the Bada HD-22 or 22se, pls? It's got a tube ;-0

Hello Audio Experts!
Can anyone tell me how much space on top the Rega Apollo needs to open its lid? I hardly see anything bad written about this unit; opinions pls?
