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.

Love my ESOTERIC RZ-1
Amp/Preamp/CD/DA
Like a fine watch craftsmanship and sounds excellent in my home office set-up!
Naim Uniti. However, Elizabeth makes a very good point about such combination units.
Check out the new Cambridge Audio 851 it is a complete package, CD player, DAC, and digital preamp

If you are open to a 2 box solution in a mid-size chassis then you could look towards something like a Bel Canto DAC 2.5 (which can function as a DAC and preamp) along with the Bel Canto CD3t disc transport.

If you are dealing with a space constraint, thus requiring the single box solution, the Bel Canto option should still work since both are half width chassis size, and the 2 together works out to 1 "normal" size unit.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Elizabeth, that's actually a very good point. Never thought of it that way. I have a DAC, pre-amp and amp seperates (and a receiver) right now. But I find digital music streaming is the weakness in my system and thinking of selling the DAC and pre-amp, then buy an all-in-one unit. Space is not that big of a constraint but I'd like to keep it minimum. All the extra cost of cabling and all kinds of wires going left/right is really bothering me.

Also HT by-pass is kinda important too. Mine is all-purpose system, music/HT/gaming/cable TV.
