Cd player

The TEAC 701 is an excellent transport. It can also be clocked so there is the potential to upgrade it. There isn't a massive difference in price between the transport and CD player versions so it would be worth auditioning the CD against the transport running into the Mac's DAC.

Jay's cdt2-mk3, more $ but the Cambridge CXC cannot compete. Have owned both.

Since you have DAC, and assuming that you are happy with it, I would get a dedicated transport. However, some Mac preamps have a proprietary input for Mac CD players. I once had a Pioneer Elite Universal Player that had an “ i link “ (basically a FireWire connection) to pair with a Pioneer AVR. It sounded amazing, far better than any other input into the AVR and much better than the Universal Player into the same AVR by HDMI.
I don’t know much about Mac proprietary inputs, but if your amp has one, I would at least attempt a trial with a Mac disc spinner that is similarly equipped

I have around 2500 CD’s and my CD transport died a of years ago. I bought an Audiolab 6000CDT and my first streamer, a Bluesound Node, N130. As time went by, I found that I was using the streamer more and more and CD’s less and less. About six weeks ago I got a different preamp and when I was plugging everything back in I didn’t plug the CDT back in.
