There is no such a thing as "The perfect component".
And it definitely doesn't mean it will work with ones' system synergistically and fit the personal preferences criteria.

That is why auditioning gear for yourself and in your own system is the ONLY way to determine if the particular component is in fact the one for YOU.

I would say the Ayre CX-7 and then the next step up from there is the dCS P8i.

For a year I used an EAR Acute CDP until I bought an Ancient Audio Lektor Prime. Both are excellent and within your price range.
