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.

A used Sony 5400. I've heard one and was very impressed.

A new Sony SCD XA5400 ES for $909.99 @ CDW. Shipping will add 20 bucks or so. A great deal from an authorized seller.

I've been impressed with my Pioneer Elite SACD player. The current model retails for about $700. I have the previous generation that I got for about have of the $500 retail.

You can pick up a used Cambridge 840C for $850-$950 here on Audiogon. Read Absolute Sound and Stereophile reviews on this unit and you will be sold on it.
