Spectral DMC-30SL ,which CD player????

I just purchased used from an Audiogon member
my dream preamp the Spectral DMC-30SL. My god
what a ruthless preamp. Whatever comes out of
my current cd players, Resolution CD-50, Rega
Planet, and even tried my very old Mission 700,
it just magnifies, that includes the grunge the
cd player makes besides the music. It is just
unmerciful!!! So I need a topend cd player now!
But which one?? A very clean one which would
mate with an all Spectral electronic setup, speakers
being the Acoustat 2+2s and Avalon Radians. I
do not have the cash for the Spectral SDR2000/3000
combo (that's around $7000, these days). I have
around $2500 right now. Does anybody have any
experience with the Resolution CD55, the new Resolution
Suite 21, or the Gamut CD. I prefer clean with no
digital artifacts, with a more analytical presentation.
Do any of the above foot the bill? any others?
Tubed Cd players may not apply, at this time.
Thanks George

No it is not the quality of the cds themselves,I think it is
the quality of the DACs and the quality of the analog
section afterwards. DMC-30sl makes the Resolution and the
Rega sound like a first generation cd player, ie my Mission.
I admit now I am a little taken back by what I hear, that
with such a high quality preamp, that anything less than
perfection from the source will be a let down. Welcome to
the ultra high end.
