Favorite one box C.D.??

Really stuck between adding an external DAC or going to a great one box solution. Some names that come to mind are Cary 306/200, ARC CD3, Electrocompaniet EMC1 UP, AudioMeca Meridian 508.24 as well as a few others. I really like detail yet without the harshness of digital or digital glare. Any and all opinions would be valued.

Good Listening and Happy Holidays to all,
