Cd player

Hi guys been building a new HI FI system and been waiting on the HI FI Rose 130, but want to light this system up! Lol Whats a really nice cd player that will not be the weak link? I am running mcintosh c2700, Power Q 707,  Mcintosh 611s & B&W 801 N all with high end cables. 

Thanks for all your input Matt

The Cambridge CXC is an excellent budget choice (I have one) if you plan to use the DAC in your preamp...the CXC V1 and V2 are sonically identical, just different color and styling...

Since you already have a DAC, I’d just get a streamer and skip the CD thing all together. You’ll get access to millions of albums for the price of a cd a month. Many of higher resolution than the CD. Get the best you can afford and you’ll be rewarded for life.

streaming is great, but don’t get talked out of getting a nice CD Transport...they can be inexpensive, like the CXC, and lots of fun, with great sonics...and there are now also some real good CD/Streamer combos with good DAC’s built in...
