Recommended Redbook Under $5K

My Sony SCD-1 is now approaching age 5 and has taken a bit of a beating through multiple relocations during its time with me. It seems like it it might be time for a replacement. I have so few SACDs that this feature is not important - although I wouldn't object to SACD capability. There are so many new choices out there that researching possibilities seems a daunting task. Hence, recommendations on where to start would be much appreciated.

This unit will go into the following system:

ARC LS 25
ARC VT 130 SE
Sonus Faber Cremona.

Accuphase dp65. There is one for sale for $2k here on Audiogon. The sound of it is similar to ARC sound.

I would try an ARC CD3 mk II or an used Audio Aero Capitole mk II. Both are excellent players in their respective price points.

Has it been that long already? Time sure flies when you're having a good time.

Budgeting $1000 for a receiver & $5000 for a CDP indicates a system out of whack to say the least. Happy hunting. It`s your $.
