CD Player Recommendations for Dynaudio speakers


I presently have a Meridian G08 player now 9 years old. When I eventually have an issue and need to repair, I assume it might be difficult as Meridian seems to be moving away from CD players.
Any recommendations for something that would mate well with Dynaudio C1 signatures and Ayre electronics, JPS Labs cabling.

Right now I am thinking Esoteric or Luxman. Any thoughts?

I own the Luxman D-05 and use it with dynaudio 1.3se's. I find the d-05 musical with a wide soundstage but sometimes lacking in bass def. and sound separation. I also run a Rega Saturn which may not be as musical as the Luxman, has tight bass and good separation. Your speakers might match luxman better than mine or going up the luxman line.

What's your budget? Meridian 808.3 and ARC cd 9 are probably very good but seem pricey to me. I just saw a Rega Isis for 6k. I'd consider that. There is also a Luxman D-05 for about 3k. I have limited experience and haven't heard esoteric,
