Hi Chrfor,
I bought a Naim CD5i earlier this year after auditioning as much of the under $2500 competition as I could. Like you said, it's a very lively and musical player. The other players that I really dug during my auditions were:
Simaudio Equinox - A wonderful player that's in your price range used
Jolida JD100A - A warm and full sounding tube CD player
Rega Planet and Jupiter - Laid back and very forgiving
The final choice comes down to personal taste and how much you want to spend.
Regards,
Erik
