Cd player

Hi guys been building a new HI FI system and been waiting on the HI FI Rose 130, but want to light this system up! Lol Whats a really nice cd player that will not be the weak link? I am running mcintosh c2700, Power Q 707,  Mcintosh 611s & B&W 801 N all with high end cables. 

Thanks for all your input Matt

Congrats with your Luxman. - why lack of aes/ebu?

If your DAC is compatible then the following is great, even with the cheapest used OPPO as a transport (like $200). An additional bonus is that it also plays DSD (SACD). My Benchmark DAC3B and Schitt Yggi+ LIM DACs both work with it. I was thinking of the new Schitt URD (sp?) CD player but tried the D.BOB and found it exceeded expectations. I also wanted SACD. My prior player was a Sony SCD-1, which died after 20+ years.

@jred - I don't know why they didn't include aes/ebu, but the DAC sounds great.  Same chip as in the D-10X that has gotten rave reviews.
