$2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont

I've been looking for a new or used cd player to go with my Von Schweikert VR4 JR's and Monarchy SE100 monoblocks. At the present time I have A modified Jolida JD 100 that was great with my Innersound Eros but just to laid back for the JR'S. I need the new player to have a volume control and digital input for my TV. I want to spend about $2500.00 I've been going crazy for weeks looking and need some help. I like the Cary 303/300 but it has no inputs. Since im trying to downsize from my old system I don't want a separate preamp. My other choice is the Resolution Audio Opus 21. I really like the audio aero capitol but its just to expensive for me. Than I see older players like some of the Accuphases but they are so old. I'm just not sure. If anyone has some advise that would be great. Ken

Yes, the Cary players sound very good!

I have also owned the Quad and Opus 21. I loved the Opus 21, simply world class and among the best. I did not like the Quad at all. For me it was a huge bummer!No real body or soul - sounded like a stereo, not music.

The Muse Thalia used or Model 11 Sig used is also very good.

Just my impressions in my system.

Mine was the newer CDP. I guess it is all about system/room matching. In my home and with my gear it was fast, nice punch and extended at both frequency extremes. It lacked emotion, meat and body however and left me cold.
