Actually, "drive unit" is the normal audio term for "raw speaker driver."
For example, my Tannoy System 15 DMT II studio monitors use the 3833GG dual concentric drive unit.
I suppose you mean "digital disc player" or "digital source" or "digital front end."
With regard to your query, there is no "best" in this or any other category, though there are lots of good ones...
A lot of listeners place the EMM Labs and dCS gear at the top of the heap; others would also include the Esoteric X-01; yet others would say you have to modify any stock unit to bring out its best; but I'm sure there's almost as many opinions as listeners.
