What cd player to purchase for less than $1000?

My friend just purchased Martin Logan Source speakers and the Krell S-300i integrated amp. Please let me know your opinion for the biggest bang for the buck cd player at a cost (new or used) of less than $1000. I was thinking about the Oppo 95, but would also like to hear other opinions out there. Thank you.

I recently bought the Rega Apollo and have been happy with it. At the time it was $850 with a trade in (any cd player, working or not). List is $1,000.
I bumped it against an Arcam 8SE, Primare CD21 and Music Hall 25.2 and liked the Apollo.

The Oppo BDP-95 at $995 would seem to be the best unit available for the price you listed. And, in addition to playing CDs, it will also handle virtuall every shiny-disc created: SACD, DVD-Audio, HDCD, and BluRay.

I doubt that you will find a better unit available for the price...

Stick with a dedicated CD player. The Rega Apollo is a great choice. The Exposure 2010s is also a nice piece.

Are you afraid to spend $60 at SonyStyle for a refurb 595? It will amaze you, if you keep your mind open. Best part is that SonyStyle will come and get it for free if you don't like it.
