There is a phenomenon here that when people inquire about getting a CD player they are told that they should be streaming.
Be aware that streamers are networking computers. Sometimes there are computer issues that cause them to suddenly stop being able to play music. If you ever had a printer attached to a computer that suddenly could not connect with each other than you know what I mean.
I suddenly lost access to a streamer last week when the app on my phone stopped working. It took me an hour to figure out the problem. The latest Apple update on my iPhone disabled the app. It took me another hour to figure out a workaround.
If your tolerance for fun and games like this is low, I suggest sticking with CDs.
Your original question has been answered by others. CD players come with a DAC installed. CD Transports do not. And if you don’t want to play SACDs buying that capability is a waste of money.
Now if you want to play CDs but think that you might want to explore streaming, there are combination products with DAC, CD Transport, and streamer all in one, at your price range
