To ARS Sonum/Merlins owners - Which CD player ?


Hi all,
Since we have pretty much same set up (Filarmonia + Merlin)
What is your best digital front end ?
Should a tube-base CD be too much ...tuby?
FYI: I currently using a Cary 306/200, was thinking to try AA Capitole, Raysonic 168, Ayon CD2 (all tube base)
Please post your comments
Thanks

Just want to follow up my post: Got the Sony, burn-in at 150 hrs mark on RBCD and compare to my Cary 306/200 - Sony performance is about 8/10 to Cary - I'm using analog balanced output, I might keep it for a while to see any improvement.
Does anyone play ARS/VSM-Mxe and CD Meridian 508-24 ?. I am going to buy a CD player and hard to choose between Meridian 508-24 or Cary 306-200 ?. Please advise.

Sean
I have Filarmonia/VSM's and I have used the amazing Altmann Attraction DAC for the past two years. Best digital sound I've ever heard.
