Best used CD player around $1500?

Naim CD5x and Ayre CX-7e? Others? Will use for classical music, Levinson 27.5 amp, Counterpoint Solid 8 preamp.

It is often overlooked here, the more popular Destiny amp gets more press. It is a first rate CD player, especially at used prices. Easily competes with Naim CD5i, CD5X, and CDX. There is a new one here on Audiogon for $1699. Used one go for ~$1200.
