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

Cambridge Audio's 840C has two sets of digital inputs, with Anagram Technologies 24 bit/384kHz DACs.

The Mark Levinson 390S would work. It has two inputs and an excellent volume control.

I posed this question in the Reference DACS forum without getting much of a response (I added the requirement that it be a SACD/CD player with digital inputs). I'm wondering if manufactuers are about to get wise to the need for digital inputs and the next generation of high-end players will not only have digital inputs, but one input will be for USB. If so, it makes you wonder how smart it would be to invest $10k+ in one of the current generation players with this change possibly on the horizon.
