Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo


I was slightly surprised that there isn't a very large selection of CD player/DAC combos out there.  Yamaha, Marantz, Musical Fidelity, and a few others make them, but not many other companies.  It seems like building a cd player into a DAC makes a lot of sense, like an integrated amp.  Can anyone recommend one these?  My budget would $3000 tops.  Thanks, J

I use an old onkyo sacd /cd that has a wolfson dac which always  sounded pretty good. I also have an old pioneer dvd/sacd that has been in a closet for a few years it has a good sound as well I think it had wolfson. Only thing about the pioneer it took about an hour to load anything, well seemed like an hour. For less than  3k there is also rega, creek or nad you can get new as well as the ones already mentioned.

I use a Pioneer Elite CD/DVD-A/SACD Player, vintage 2004, in my surround system, paired with a Pioneer Elite receiver that uses an “I link” to pair the two.  It’s a remarkably good system for “mid-Fi” gear.

Very impressed with mine and yes I read you could pair it with a Pioneer receiver and use one remote to control both. Mine is 2000 vintage.
When you say "spinners", are you just saying CD Transport?  Sorry, that's probably a dumb question. 

I guess all I saw were the advantages of the one unit CD/DAC, but I really hadn't considered all the other advantages of having "separates".  There's a lot to consider now that whole transport thing might be the best.    
OP

spinner could mean CD transport, or refer to a full CD Player.  It’s to distinguish from Computer Audio, although technically, some types of Hard Drives actually spin as well...
  More importantly, if you go the separate route, you will have a lot more options than sticking with a CD player availability .  And you will gain flexibility, because DACs can be used with other sources as Computers and potentially as streamers as well.
