Do many CD players also have digital inputs?

I've heard of a few--e.g., the Denon DCD3000. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good one for around $600? I am trying to find a one box solution that will play CDs and handle a digital input from a computer (toslink). I'd like to avoid buying a transport and a DAC (with more than one imput).

You might try a California Audio Labs Tercet, which has coax input and output (but you'd need a Toslink converter). What's your objection to simply buying a transport and DAC (separately) -- they can still be done under your price point, and done quite well by Bel Canto, CAL, or Audio Alchemy. Most DAC's have multiple digital inputs, so simply use the coax or balanced connection between the transport and DAC, and use the Toslink connection to the computer.

I know that's not exactly what you asked for, but I think it's a reasonable consideration.
