Need advice for CDP selection

I need some helpful advice on cdp selection for my system. I have read reviews on Accuphase, EMC, Wadia, Krell, Audio Aero, Sony SCD1 etc. and they all seem to be contender's. I have not had the opportunity to audition any other cdp's with a Krell system except a Krell. Anyone have any recommendations?

I have Krell FPB 200c and B&WN802 and recently chose the Resolution Audio Opus 21 after auditioning many and some on your list. My second place finisher is also NOT on your list. It was the very fine Ayre CX-7. It too had a very detailed and refined sound.

The Opus 21 can run directly into your FPB 350MC's and the HTS can run directly into your Opus 21 if the HTS has a digital output. If not, you would have to buy an Analogue to Digital converter which range in price from $50.-$3000. This set up elliminates the need to buy a seperate preamp.
