Small hi-res player?
If you have notebook, you can use Apogee Duet FireWire interface which you can connect through USB. This toy is near $500 but will probably 'squish' any player you can only think off. 
Is Solid State Preamp and Tube Amp A Good Combo?

Any opinions on John McLaughlins last album?
