Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo

I was slightly surprised that there isn't a very large selection of CD player/DAC combos out there.  Yamaha, Marantz, Musical Fidelity, and a few others make them, but not many other companies.  It seems like building a cd player into a DAC makes a lot of sense, like an integrated amp.  Can anyone recommend one these?  My budget would $3000 tops.  Thanks, J

Most spinners only transport 16/44 signal, not hi res.
Even the new ones like the high and might Jay's CD Transport that is hyping on a nearby thread. 

Typically you have to pay a few grand even for a new or used proper SACD/CD Transport. No, I dont like the Oppo's. I had the 105. The transported signal was crap compared to my SimAudio CDP. But the PS3's, early version, can rip the SACDs.
