I'll second the POV of the respondent who recommended OPPO. Both the 105 and the 205 have state of the art DACs, and upsample everything to 192/24 and play DSD in native format, including (if you wish) multi-channel analog output.
I love ARC gear (use some myself) but the OPPO makes virtually ALL high-end CD players obsolete, from a pricing standpoint as well as from a sound standpoint. Don't be misled by those who claim it has to be wired into a home-theatre system. It requires a simple TV connection for set-up. Once that is done and you have it in "pure audio" mode, it is simply a disk player.
