Any good cdp with digital inputs

Please recommend me a good cd player with digital inputs either used OR new. I want to use it as a stand alone cd player and also use my Squezeebox 3 output feeding the internal dac of the cd player. This way I can have the best of both but the dac section of the cdp needs to be very very good.
Thank you

Sure. There is the Resolution Audio Opus 21 which has a single digital input. There is also the Quad 99 CDP or 99 CDP2, which have 6 digital inputs. I currently own the Opus 21 and it is a great player. I've also previously owned the Quad 99 CDP and 99 CDP2, but didn't own them at the same time. I enjoyed the Quad 99 CDP more than the CDP-2, but my system wasn't the same at the time, so it may have been system dependent. Oh, and the RA Opus 21 and the Quad all have good variable volume control, so you can connect them directly to a power amp, thus saving money on a pre-amp and saving shelf space.

Enjoy,

Wadia made digital inputs optional on some of their players (830, 850,860 and later models), and probably do so now.
