Looking for a CD Player


I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player.  The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age.  My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them.  Not wanting to purchase streaming music.  Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects -    Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability??  Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00.  All the help would be appreciated.

Good for you OP!

Some common sense decency and graciousness, exactly what this forum needs more of.

Peace and a blessing.

UPDATE:

So i sent my EMOTIVA back - reason for the return - no gapless playback. With all the technology in today's world and the item lacks gapless playback. What was awesome was that EMOTIVA without hesitation sent me an RMA. AND fully understood. Awesome customer service.  Also, in their return section they stated that shipping is to be paid by the customer for a return.  They sent me an RMA with insurance and return shipping for less than I would have paid on my own.  Again, great customer service. So, I do believe in Santa Claus. Merry Christmas to all on Audiogon - Ho Ho Ho.....
