DAC/Transport to a one box CD - need suggestions


I'm currently using the conrad-johnson D/A2b DAC and DR-1 transport as my CD source. I like this combination very much but I need to downsize to a one box CD player. Looking for suggestions for a one box CD player that will replace these units. My budget it up to 3K. I'm using an all tube c-j setup driving maggie 3.5r's.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

If it was me and I was looking for a one box player today I would also choose
the RA Opus 21. It's simply fantastic. Yes, it's two boxes, but they're small
and fit onto one shelf. Plus you can run it direct if you ever choose to.

But you might also consider a modded CD player, particularly if you think you
might want to dabble in hi-rez.
