CD player suggestions under $700

I think if I would go the DAC route I would select a less expensive CD player or CD transport as opposed to a cheap DVD player because I find the cheaper DVD players to have flimsy disc transports where the CD players have a better transport. Thanks.

OP I know that you asked for a CD player recommendation but have you considered getting a DAC?  If you prefer your CDs to Bluesound Node it may be the limiting factor is the DAC in the Node.  It may be that if you use your current player as a transport with a DAC and not have the hum, which may be in the output stage of your current player.  And a better DAC will make the Node much better, and you may just dispense with CDs altogether.

+1 mahler, a great option to consider. A DAC would serve your Node and whatever CD player as a transport you choose.

Schiit Audio makes sum well regarded DACs that would be under $700

mahler123, you are correct that part of my interest in a new CD player is seeing what the new onboard DAC can do. I am currently running both my CD player and Node 2i through the DAC in my PS Audio Gain Cell Preamp that to my ears sounds better than the DAC's in the two devises. My original interest in the Music Hall C-DAC 15.3 was that it has a Burr- Brown DAC for the CD player and a second Wolfson DAC for digital inputs that I could try with the Node 2i. With that I could compare the DAC's in the Music Hall to the DAC in the PS Audio to see what I prefer. 
The suggestion from johnss about a new standalone DAC with a less expensive transport would take me down a similar route. 
I'm not sure what is causing the hum in the Nakamichi CD player but I've tried it with both the analog and digital outputs and with a few different cables and also on a different amplifier and the hum is unfortunately still there. It's been a great CD transport.
