I have an idea/solution that no one has mentioned yet! Buy a used Aurender A10 Music Server/DAC combo. I saw one here the other day for less than $4k. Not only will you now have an excellent streamer with access to Tidal (and complete MQA unfolding), you can also connect the A10's DAC to a cheap CD player via optical cable. This operation effectively turns the CD player into a transport.
I stumbled upon this by reading a review of the A10 before I purchased one. I use an old Pioneer 45A DVD/CD/SACD/ player which can be had for about $50 and a $25 optical cable. I imagine that most sellers would leave their music files on the A10 so you should also inherit some new music. So, for around $4k you have a killer CD player, a high-end streamer and a whole new world to explore!
