Stay with major brands like Marantz, Rotel, or Musical Fidelity in the under $1000 price point. If you buy pre-owned, be careful. Many audiophile manufacturers are no longer supporting disc format equipment. Lasers have a usable life. So parts and support may not be available. Check with the manufacturer before buying pre-owned models. I learned by experience with a Linn Unidisc 1.1.
My strong recommendation is to go with a server/streamer and either stream albums in your collection from Qobuz or Tidal, and/or burn and upload your CD collection. I believe you will get better SQ in this way. You may need to up your budget to $1500 to get a pre-owned Aurender N100H, Innuos ZENminni, or equivalent. Personally, I prefer the Aurender house sound. If you up the budget to the $3500 range(within you $3000-$5000 range), sound quality will improve proportionally if you get a pre-owned Aurender N200. At reduced SQ compared to the prior recommendations, go with a new Bluesound Vault server and/or Node streamer.
Good luck.
