You might want to look at the October issues of 'Stereophile' and 'Absolute Sound'.
In their recommended list, Stereophile gives the $3000 Sony SCD-XA9000ES an A+ rating while the 'A' rated players under $3500 are the Adcom DV-79, Ayre CX-7e, Denon DVD-5910, McCormack UDP-1 and the Naim CD5X.
Absolute Sound's 2006 Editors' Choice awards goes to; for under $2000: Sony DVP-NS9100ES, Quad 99-CDP, and the Sim Audio Moon Equinox. For $3500 and under: Thule Audio Space DVA-250B Arcum FIVU CD36, Musical Fidelity A5, Ayre CX-7e, Arcam FMJ DV29, Marantz SA-11s1, and the Denon DVD-5910.
I'm going to have to replace an old wornout Sony player soon, so I too am looking, -and confused with the numerous choices
