Replacement of Cary CD player
Why?
Keep the Cary, super build quality, great remote, it uses the very good and still available cheap Philips CDM12 laser, and it also has RCA, Toslink and AES/EBU digital output the better output to go to dacs.

You can even use it’s own R2R Multibit 2 x PCM1704 (best made) + HDCD dac as a stand alone dac, with also RCA, mini usb digital inputs.

You’d be hard pressed bettering this for a digital transport.
