Depending upon the duckets on hand for the PC, and taste of course, my preffs on PC's for front end have been VooDoo Silver or Black Dragons, given the level of refinement the CDP has inherintly. Black for more strident ones, and the Silver for less. the Gold D as posted does work better where larger current is being demanded, though I am using one on my low fi combo player with great results.
In shunyata, again, depending on money and tastes, the VX line was made for spinning stuff. I've had both the older Python vx and helix vx's on my Sony xa777 to great effect. older types have a more quieting factor proviso, the helix's are more refined and the sound stage is deeper set , but both present a grand stage and lots of extension on both ends.
One cord they make is my fav overall. If it don't work on the CDP it will elsewhere. Taipan helix. VX if more darker a SS is needed.. Alpha if not. In fact there is less diff now with the quieting in the helix line than previous to it. I used a Python helix to repalce my old Python VX though it was not as queit as the old VX the Python helix did a fine job presenting more resolution, and again, greater rear of stage depth which may or may not be a consideration for you.
Others that didn't make the grade IMO in my system were the JPS digital, Audience, Purist venusta, kimber pk10 pladium
now I use my Voodoo Tesla II 95% of the time on the xa777, and sometimes I move the pcs around... If a non specific (like a VX ) is used you can do that too. In fact my Elrod Sig 3 does all the Python helix did and with a more natural rendering... a Sig 2 might be better suited though for a CDP.
If you're going to use a filter down the road and add a good su-pply cord there, the Taipan helix Alpha would be my suggestion based on it's great sound and versatility.
