DAC for CD transport


Suggestion needed for DAC to be used with CD transport(either dedicated or dvd player as transport) around $1k range for 2nd system, not planning to use with PC.

And my current and previous source listed to understand my preference

Currently using Roksan kandy K3, like the sound, has plenty of air between instruments, extended treble and taut bass, vocals are good.

Previously used Audiolab 8200CD, had denser sound, lacking in instruments separation.

Heard Marantz cd-8005 during audition, it’s kind of thick voice.

DAC’s so for I am considering..

Line Magnetic LM-502CA

Audio gd NOS DAC-19

Teac UD-503

Rega Dac-R

Or should I go with another dedicated CD player?

advise needed, thanks

The Schiit Multibit is s excellent choice I upgraded from the original 
SCHIIT Gungnir , then payed thd $500 upgrade Fantastic, snd being Modular 
Which most are Notmeaning everything they find a major improvement you can send it in for the upgrade at minimal charge. very detailed and musical not bright 
At all. I found the Audioquest Diamond a superb USB cable.
