'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575

Hello
I've got a CJ SD22, and a Adcom GCD575, and am thinking about what I would get/hear for under $1000. There is a CA 840c local, for 800 (maybe) and I see a Mccormack UDP-1 also for about that $.
However, there are a LOT of brands out there, some I've never heard of.
I don't think I'd mind the 'black'/no noise of the 840c I read about...and I prefer the cdp to not color the music. I listen to a lot of stuff but prefer clarity above all.
TIA

Stereomojo gave it's Maximum Mojo award to the Virtue Audio Piano M1.

You can also try an Emotiva ERC-1. It goes for approx $350 and has a 30 day trial period as well.

If you are familiar with Adcom why not try to score a used Adcom GCD-750. I've read that this player is excellent.

Happy hunting.

Was the Nak OMS7 CDP a design of the 1 & only Nelson Pass as well? I believe Nakamichi used his designs for the PA7 & PA5 amplifiers. Maybe that is why it sounds so good even to this day?
