newer CD player w/DAC that could replace AMR CD-77.1

I am looking for help in determining what modern built cd player with the capability to be used as a DAC to stream music could equal or better the sound produced from an AMR CD-77.1 cd player. 

 

The AMR is an older component that cannot be serviced for any and all breakdowns, that said I am looking to find out what short list I can put together of players which can equal the sound quality of this amazing player. I would be interested also if maybe a stand alone dac is available which could suffice as well?

What is your budget?  I would encourage your to look at Canor for tube units or Cyrus for SS.  These are just objectively good CD players but might offer a different suggestion depending on your budget.
