Try a Linux distro. You probably won't need special drivers like you do in Windows. It's easy and won't cost anything. Also, if you value your privacy, Linux is probably the best OS. Its far better than Windows. 
What CD and SACD player have a discreet audio
I forgot to mention this in my other post. Another option would be to get a good mass market player like a Sony 9000ES and send it out to be modded. The op amps are usually removed as part of the mod.
