Proac+Cary and Accuphase or Esoteric CD

I intend to buy Cary 211AE Power amp with Cary SLP-05 Pre (second hand).
I already have Proac Response 2.5 loudspeakers.
What would you think of a digital front end to use with this system? Accuphase DP-500 or Esoteric X-03SE.
Since the accuphase is a "WARM" sounding cd player would it be too much of a good thing since this system is already on a warm side.
In addition what cables should have a high synergy with the above system.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Amfibius,
Thank you for the information. I consider of buying the Accuphase or the Esoteric, besides their sonic attributes, because that both companies design and make the CD transport themselves. I have seen a few complaints of users of Cary CD players about the reliability of the Cary CDP’s (not sure that it was about the 306 also). Anyhow I will check that CD player as well.
Could I ask you what cables did you use in your previous system with the Proac D38? And if I may ask why did you sell the Proac and bought a different one.
Thanks.
