OP I know that you asked for a CD player recommendation but have you considered getting a DAC? If you prefer your CDs to Bluesound Node it may be the limiting factor is the DAC in the Node. It may be that if you use your current player as a transport with a DAC and not have the hum, which may be in the output stage of your current player. And a better DAC will make the Node much better, and you may just dispense with CDs altogether.

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a new CD player to replace my old Nakamichi that is starting to get a little noisy with an internal hum and would like to get something with a more current DAC. I listen to vinyl and stream most of the time and only play CD's about 10% of my listening time but do think many of my older AAD CD's sound better than streaming with my Bluesound Node 2i.
I'll be pairing the CD Player up with a PS Audio Gain Cell and Vandersteen Treo's.
Does anyone have any experience with the Music Hall c-dac 15.3? I'd also like recommendations for other CD players with onboard DAC's.
Thanks.
