Looking At CD Players


I am looking at adding a traditional CD player to my system.  Currently using an Oppo BDP-105.  Can any of you comment on the following choices?
       Bryston CDP-3
       Yamaha CD-S2100 or CD-S3000
       Hegel Mohican

I want to stick with a player with balanced ouputs.  I am running an AR LS16, Wyred4Sound ST750-LE, Custom Speakers

Any help would be appreciated

Not sure why you would want to replace your Oppo BD 105? 
I love my Oppo BD 105 and keeping it! I'm running balanced outs from the Oppo into my ARC LS15 Pre Amp But in the interst of me getting into Hi rez Streaming, and taking my music quality up a level, I just purchased the Exogal Comet DAC Plus and I'm going to add the Zen Mini MK III streamer that can also rip CD's to an enternal HD
Thanks Brian,

Aux input, do meant SPDIF input? What I was thinking to do was go digital out from the Oppo into the Comet plus, then balanced out to my ARC LS 15 pre amp that is connected to my VAC PA 80 80 amp. I could also run RCA or USB  out from the Comet plus to my Emotivia XMC-1 5.1 setup. I'm sure the Comet Plus allows this.
If I just want to go from the Comet Plus to my VAC amp I would have to use the RCA connections as that is all the VAC amp has for inputs. I could try both ways and see what sounds best. Also it would be great if I can connect my android phone to the Comet Plus to stream from Spotify, Anazon HD etc.  To connect to my network I would have to run a 40 foot cable along the floor
(wife would not be a happy camper) or go out and buy a laptop, or maybe a wireless streamer 
Oh the slippery slope!
