I currently have a pretty modest configuration like :
- Source : Cambridge Audio 640C
- Amp : Vincent SV-226
- Speakers : Chario academy millenium 2 bookshelf
- Speaker cables : Supra classic
- Interconnect : MIT Exp2
- Room : 14sqm with minimal damping behind the listening position
Although the setup cannot be classified as a reference at all, the overall sound is very pleasant and the it has a very nice spectral balance. I've heard setups costing tens of times more that didn't sound as good. Still...the sound can be greatly improved I'm sure. Since I feel the speakers are the strongest point in my system and the CD the weakest, I have 2 questions :
1) Do you agree with the fact that the CD is the weakest link ?
2) Can you recommend me the best CD/SACD players in the range 3000-5000E ?
Thanks !

No. The weakest links are the speaker cables and the speakers.
2) Can you recommend me the best CD/SACD players in the range 3000-5000E ?
Yes, McIntosh MCD500 (a little over that unless u get ex demo). With the awesome ESS Sabre dac. Volume control and digital inputs included
