Best bang for your buck it to get a used Link DAC and have Dan Wright, Dusty Vawter or Stan Warren modify it.
Otherwise, I agree that a stand alone CD player is a good way to go. I've like some of the DVD players that have been tweeked/modified for redbook CD, but have not liked many out of the box DVD players for CD.
