Best Redbook player with XLR outs

Thanks for all the feedback.
I decided on the Ayre Reedbook CDP with the new "e" upgrade. The unit is just know breaking in. So far, so good, with about 200 hours of play time.

Thanks all for the good info.
Because I would like to take advantage of my BAT pre, I do not necessarily need a source that will channel directly into my amp.
I also have heard good feedback on the Ayre player that seems even more promising with their new "e" upgrade.

My understanding is that Ayre is offering this upgrade for a nominal fee ($500). I was informed the "e" stands for evolutionary, and should improve the overall sonics of their products.
