Welcome Mr. Crash,
Given your criteria, the MBL seems to fill the bill. Still, it raises a couple of questions in my mind. One, are you likely to prefer the digital volume control of the CDP to the MBL's? I think that's very doubtful. The MBL will probably sound better than all but the very best onboard digital volume control.
Next, will the MBL's headphone amp meet or outperform your separate headphones amp? Not knowing which HP amp you have I can still say it's doubtful. The can-amp will likely better that the little add-on circuit of the MBL.
Search over at www.head-fi.org or join and ask the question, "has anyone there tried the MBL's headphone circuit and compared it to your specific headphone amp." MBL may be the exception, but separate headphone amps usually come out on top in these races.
The Rowland Continuum 500 has gobs more power for the same money as the MBL and the Continuum 250 has more power for less. The headphone jack is missing however.
