I heard a McIntosh amp with a McIntosh Cd player and sounded classy (I see them on ebay).
One thing about buying a used Cd player - I heard that the Cd mechanism is not perfected yet, and they tend to break down after a while - so we can only expect a few years of use, and then the pick up has tobe replaced - about $200 depending on the unit.
You might consider getting a refurbished unit - with a warrantee. Ecost.com has denon 3800 DVD player for $449 - they received good review for audio, and plays DVDs high level too.
