Best Flexible Digital player around $1000

I am a dedicated vinyl listener and have not had a CD player in my system for 4-5 years. I have a lot of music on CD's and new music that I really like that is not available on vinyl. So I am looking for a great CD player that will also provide some flexibility for streaming/computer audio in the future. I have looked at the Marantz 8004 which seems to provide for all of this for about $1000 but I know there are other options. Thanks for your help.

It appears to me that your are looking for a dedicated CD player that provides access to its’ DAC. If this is true I would go the route of a dedicated CD player. The Marantz products are highly thought of, the 8004 has been replaced by the 8005 which sells for $1200 retail. I would think a 8004 would sell for appreciable less (once $1000 retail). What is the status on the one you are considering?

That said, Oppo is always highly recommended as a universal player. and If I was looking or one I would buy an Oppo.
