Looking At CD Players

I am looking at adding a traditional CD player to my system.  Currently using an Oppo BDP-105.  Can any of you comment on the following choices?
       Bryston CDP-3
       Yamaha CD-S2100 or CD-S3000
       Hegel Mohican

I want to stick with a player with balanced ouputs.  I am running an AR LS16, Wyred4Sound ST750-LE, Custom Speakers

Any help would be appreciated

I use an Oppo 105 as a transport into a Bryston DAC3.  Not only is Red Book great, but I listen to SACD in DSD.  Same chip as the Bryston CDP that you are contemplating

I can comment on the Yamaha CD-S 2100 since you mentioned it specifically and not just because I own one...

It's a superb design and in addition to excellent sound quality offers a lot of flexibility. SACD, CD, USB DAC. The build quality is excellent. Its drive mechanism is something you'd expect to see in an Esoteric unit. Not a single piece of plastic in sight.

The only con i can come up with is toggling through the input selections is slower than expected. 

There are only a couple of pro reviews out there on the S2100, one from a new zealand magazine. Its pretty accurate and worth a search.
