If i was in a position to choose a CD Player, i would certainly buy a CEC transport, for that purpose they are one of the best. Save some money and then buy a Metrum Octave DAC wich got rave reviews by anyone. That way you would also have the choice to link up an other source other then the CEC player to the Octave DAC.
For a price that is not cheap, i admit, but you will have very high end performance for less money with this setup. You should be settled for years to come and don't look back.
