best 1-source pre-amp w/remote - $700-$2000 used?


Hey all,
Please give me your recommendation on a remote-controlled pre-amp for use in a 2-channel system using only one (cd) input, in the price range of $700-$2000? If there's one you know of that's an outstanding value, and it's a bit out of the budget, please let me know?
I'll be using with 300b monoblocks into Avantgarde Duos.
Obviously Looking for hi-quality performance and the most bang for the buck.
Thanks for your suggestions and happy listening!

Pass Labs X 2.5 for $2k used. Excellent sonics, bass, dynamics, etc.. XLR connections are dead quiet (not all can boast this).

-IMO
The Innersound Preamp is one of the very best and is available for $2,000 at audiogon. Also, consider the Plinius CD-LAD I or II (II has HT bypass); several available in your price range. Now this next one may surprise you, but consider the Citation 7.0 for your stereo preamp; its 2 channel bypass is as good as any preamp I have heard, including the Innersound. A 7.0 is currently available for $500 at audiogon. Best of all you can experiment with surround sound at its highest level if you so desire.
Pass Aleph P (2nd version) if you can find anyone willing to sell, I'm not. The quote I remember from the review was "quiet as death". I know you can get different sound, I'm just not sure you can get better.
