I'm very happy with a Cary 308T, with tube output (12AU7 X 2), upsampling (that can be switched off), HDCD capable and variable output. You can find them new for about $2k and they should up used for much less.
Good Luck!

Looking for CDP w/tube output and upsampling
I recently tried out an Audio Aero Prima, Audio Aero Capitole and a Shanling CD players. I really like the tube output and upsampling. The Capitole was wonderful but the pirce may be a bit high unless I eliminated my Belles 20A preamp and went direct Capitole to amp. If I were to keep the preamp, any suggestions on a cdp with upsampling and tube output. Budget allows for about a $2000 piece either new or used. My music tastes are moving towards jazz and classical since the purchase of the tube preamp.
Thanks Troy
