Please suggest a CD/streaming device for ~$2000

I am pretty out of touch.

I need to replace my Creek cd player. It was 20 years old. The new Creeks are over $5K, and I had a lot of trouble getting them to respond. 

So not Creek, something around 2000, for streaming music, and playing my CDs occasionally. A company that has demonstrated staying power is important to me.

Thanks.

I agree with mahler123. Don't go for all that Innuos crap. They are just overpriced Desktop PC's IMHO.

Buy a top shelf DAC with HDMI I2S and DSD capability, a Sony UBPX800 or Sony UBP-X1000ES and the HDMI to I@S HDMI Adapter box. Stay away from all that overpriced Oppo crap. A Bluesound Node 2i for streaming AmazonHD (SQ is the same as Qobuz but cheaper with a Prime membership). Oh yeah, a PC or Laptop cause you need an accessible Hard Drive (or you can just plug one into the Sony.

PM me here and I can help you out to avoid all the confusion and misinformation out there. Hi End Audio on the Cheap is my Thang !

And your all set !
