New source recommendations

Hi, over the weekend my Musical Fidelity A5 kinked out on me, so I'm figured I'd look into a new source. I thought of the Vault 2i, but saw that it only rips cds, and that its not a player. Im trying to decide if I should still go that route, or if I should get that stand alone player to have on hand. I've looked at the Audiolab 6000cdt, but im still looking at a dac to use if I go that route. I notice the audiolab 6000n supposedly has a very good dac, plus streaming capabilities.  Please share your thoughts on direction. Price wise, springing for the new Vault is as high as im willing to go. Thanks
