Searching for a new CD player
I agree with many of the suggestions to use an existing cdp/dvd and add a nice dac.I have a second system up in a cabin in the mountains and have an Oppo 981hd  sounded pretty good but I had a MyDac sitting around I had planned to sell but hooked ...

Can  you copy the cds to computer and then burn a new one?  I have had cds that won't play on a cdp but did fine on a mac 
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
I bought a $40 Chromecast Audio and mainly stream radio and a few hi res streamers.  Can stream spotify but not Apple Music.  Very happy with it.  use the toslink to my DAC 
Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass
I'll second the MHDT Stockholm v2.  When added to my system the bass was more pronounced, crisp.Decware mini torii and Ref 3A de Capos

Wanting to try a tube amp.
With the efficiency at 93db you don't need a lot of watts  
Why do you need so much power?
I have a 4 watt Decware tube amp with 92db Ref 3A de Capos.  Plenty loud in my 12x22 room, listen to rock, blues, folk and jazznot concert loud 
Speakers for Small Room Primarily Listening to 1950s R&B, R&R
I don’t have anything to sell but look at some used Reference 3A de Capos a bit bigger than you may want but the sound is rich detailed   listen to blues/jazz/rock 
Need some quick expert opinions trying to decide between 3 DAC's
look for a used MHDT  it will be worth it
