CD Player that can stream Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.

I'm looking for a high quality CD player that can stream Pandora, Rhapsody, etc. I am aware of the Oppo BDP-105, but I don't want or need the video functions. I would like to consider other options. Marantz just came out with the SA8005, successor to the SA8004, however that player cannot stream audio. If the player could store music files, that would be a plus. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks.

The Wyred 4 Sound Music Server can Stream Pandora, Rhapsody, MOG and Internet radio. It can also store music files as you have mentioned. I guess I wouldn't classify it as a CD Player, however it does have a CD Drive for ripping CD's. It also has DSD capability and you can control it with an iPad, Apple or Android Device.

Sorry, but I've never heard it, so I can't help you there.

Not sure if you own a DAC, but just to be clear, after I looked through the manual, the Music Server above doesn't appear to have a built in DAC.

I was looking at this for myself a while ago, to replace my Logitech Transporter. I happen to have a stand-alone DAC and I'm not ready to give up my MOG and Spotify either.

Their ad is a little misleading, because one of the quotes, on the wyred4sound link above, states that, "this is the best source/ Dac combo I have listened to."

I certainly don't respect the quote, however it's a bit misleading.

Hgeifman. It is so nice to be able to read your enlightening responses. Reasoned & practical. I just got an iphone 5S and am so appreciative of its ez to use features it encourages me to explore media music. I totally enjoy CD's and SACD's but I'm sure to enjoy the new opportunities.
