I don't think it will make much difference in that price range. So you might as well go new. I have bought lots of used gear over the years and I have found that this makes sense if you can afford to buy what was the cutting edge for it's time. If I was looking for a cd player I would shop for a Meridian, an Audio-Research, a Rega. You might be able to find a Rega in your stated budget.
