Need help choosing new CD player

I want to buy a CD player or separate Transport + DAC for $1,500-$3,000 that does 24-bit processing. Can anyone recommend some excellent products for 2-channel music? My system consists of a Conrad Johnson MF2300 amp and Audio Research LS-15 pre-amp and B&W Matrix 802 Series 3 main speakers.

A used BAT VK-5, A used EMC-1 Stick to one box if possible. SOmetimes the DAC + trans can be not easy. You get jitter and the possibility of a non true 75ohm Digital cable being used. If possible keep all the cables the same.

Check out the Arcam FMJ CD23T. It's an excellent player and an outstanding value for $2199 list.

You might want to take a listen to the Gamut CD-1.I've owned some expensive unit]last:Burmester 001} and I am enjoying this even more.No tubes and asking price is $2999.You should be able to get a discount and will outperform the Arcam and AAero,IMO,in the same price range.Happy hunting.Tom
