CDP with Optical in ?

Anyone know of a cd player with an optical in ? (to use the internal DACs, send out to a pre).

My thoughts, here, are to run an airport express into something that's decent (retail 2-3k ?).

Would rather have 2 boxes than 3.

The Quad 99 CDP or CDP-2 have multiple digital inputs, including optical and coax. They are considerably less than $2k-$3k, but they are pretty good sounding CD players IMHO.

Enjoy,

I believe the Cambridge Audio 740c and 840c each offer several digital inputs.

Many of the Linn universal players accept optical inputs.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. Seems like at least one of the Linn's is 192k upsampling. v. cool.
