Another CD player to consider is the Sony XA5400ES CD/SACD player. You have a lot of flexibility owning the MRX700 as it has HDMI inputs and the Sony outputs digital via HDMI. The Sony also has Balanced outputs and digital out.
The Sony is well regarded on this site and in the press, and is worth considering. This for music only and won't cover video or DVD audio.
