Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000?

Hi, I'm currently running an all Electrocompaniet top system with EMC-1UP as a source. However I will be changing to Classe amplification (my speakers are B&W 800 Di) quite soon so it makes sense to upgrade the source as well. Sadly Classe doesn't make CD players anymore so I'm in the market for a robust, huge and neutral sounding CD/SACD player that would be a real step up from EMC-1UP. I don't want any artificial sweetening, tubes, colorationes etc. Just pure signal. However I don't want to go separates (not to mention 4 block monsters a-la dCS). Can I buy real Hi End sound in one chasis under 15 grand?

@Kevinzoe, the Oppo does not output USB to an external DAC.

The 105 does have USB inputs, but not output.

Gfroman - before you purchased your Modwright, did you compare with the Exemplar modded Oppo95?

But the ce players discussed in this post looks very interesting price wise, but are they still the top end ? Is there any lower prices that can compete?
