Oldschool,
I use the 300SE made by Cambridge Audio. This unit is "audiophile" quality at a reasonable price. Check it out at Audioadvisor.com

The AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 has always gotten rave reviews. It's a bit over your $400 mark, but they pop up on audiogon quite often. Perhaps you could find one there closer to your budget.

I believe it's pronounced "Aha New Tube"

The D300 and 500 series cd players arent sold anymore. They have been replaced by the "azur" series. If you can find a D300 or D500 they are nice players, but dont have the widest soundstage, like some other players do. If you shop around you can get a NAD C541i for 400

The new Cambridge Audio Azur line is excellent. It carries the same new Wolfson DACs that Arcam carries(bout time). Dynamics is excellent and have a wide soundstage. They definitely are in the $420-$450 USD range.
I currently have the Cambridge Audio Azur 640c.

They sound way better than the 500...more detail and don't sound harsh right out of the box like the 500. I played it side by side with a Rega Planet 2000 and could not tell a difference.
