Which tubed cd player for this system

I am looking to get a cd player for my new system
speakers: Zingali 3S (horn/bass reflex)
preamp and amp are being built by Albert at space tech
tube Q113A, hybrid HP -100 amplifier
cd players considered (I can get all at approx the same cost new) Xindek SCD-2, Njoe Tjoeb 4000, or Jolida 100
I might be able to stretch the budget a little and try a Shanling cd-t 100 (sure looks nice!)
Obviously I am trying to stay tubed output
Thanks, your advice is welcome

We just did this one a few topics down> "How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to..." Check it out. It's an eye opener.

AH! Njoe Tjoeb with all upgrades ans Siemens/Amperex tubes. Warm tube sound, great mids and a dealer's support second to none (Kevin @ Upscale Audio). My brother and I did a shoot out with his modified Jolida 100 and my AH! with Burr Brown OPA627 using Odyssey monos amps, ARC pre, Purist audio cables, Ts premium interconnects for the Jolida and the lowely Groneberg interconnects for the AH!CDP on Martin Logan Ascents speakers. The Jolida had the Mullards and the AH! with Siemens 7308s. We played numerous tracks and honestly neither of us can tell which is which after A-Bing fo 3 1/2 hours. Either way you go, both are very good, very satisfying players for the money. You can't go wrong. The AH! is offering a true upsampler that many said will make it even better but I haven't heard one. Hope this helps.
