Quality CD player + DAC + pre-amp in one package

Budget: $3000-$5000 new or used

I know Ayon has some products like this. But I'm totally new to this, so would like to know what are the options out there.

Thanks in advance.

Any recommendation? Pre-amp is Pass XP-10. Although I'm not getting true potential of it right now due to my source, I definitely know there's a lot more to it if I just have a quality source. But I'd very much like to not increase from 4 boxes that I already have.
