CD player recommendation for Creek Classic 5350SE

[itsikhefez]

Hey all,

I need some recommendations on a CDP. I'm currently using the 5350se with Neat Motive 3 speakers.
Most of the time I listen to FLAC from my PC through a MF VDAC2.

But now that I've got lots of CD's I would like to listen to them occasionally on a dedicated CDP.

In the meanwhile I have an Arcam DV135. It's a decent CDP, but I'm wondering if a dedicated unit would be better.
The Creek's are obvious recommendations.. CD53, or Classic CD, EVO, EVO2, EVO 50a....
I haven't heard any, and they don't come up often on the used boards, so not sure how the newer EVO match with the "older" 5350se.
Another option is an Arcam.. but again, which? There are CD17, 72, 73, 23, 192 ....

Anything else come to mind?

Thanks!

Based on my budget, I have a shortlist from used classifieds.
1) Arcam CD73
2) Exposure 3010
3) Exposure 2010s2
4) Creek Evo
5) Rega Apollo (as recommended here as well)

Almost doubling my budget: (but would consider if it will keep me satisfied longer)
Creek Destiny, Rega Saturn

(just a bit reluctant on the Used Rega because of the potential mech issues)
