Cd Source for my system


I am looking for a source for my system: Michi M8 monos, B&w 802D3
I don't use a preamplifier, I thought I'd solve it from a good source.
I'm considering an Esoteric cd player line, which cd, sacd, dac, + preamplifier.
Until now, there was a Proceed cdp that filled this place, I liked it a lot, but I would like a final one without compromises. I'm thinking about used, K 01 and K 03 came to mind first. There would have been an opportunity for a K05X at a good price, but as far as I know, it cannot be used as a preamp. The budget could be around €5,000. I am open to other suggestions. Thanks!

I am a Audio Club Member and get the opportunity to experience a range of systems in others homes, as well as a range of ass on devices to be demo'd.

A Club Member Owns the EAR Acute, and as a result I am very very Familiar with the EAR Acute used in their own System and a variety  of other Systems

Additionally. I have heard it in use as a Pre Amp' Bypass using the Models VC, as well as being used as a Standalone DAC.

In certain systems as a Pre Amp (VC) the synergy created has proved it to be the best experienced during the day.

In general this Model is an extremely attractive encounter in use.
