help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP

Thanks for the responses. First to address software. I have a quite a few Redbook CD’s that I would like to play. I am open to streaming, which of course, may contradict my post. The truth is, I’m pretty out of touch with digital. I’ve read several reviews from companies such as Halide, Burson, and of course, Oppo. What I took from them, and people I’ve talked to, is that Streaming (downloading) has better sound than a comparably priced CDP. I may have to make a decision between a CDP or a Streamer. Of course the Oppo would allow me to Stream, as well as spin CD’s. phil9624- I have a Panasonic Blu-Ray and Plasma TV in the bedroom. I would like to improve the video from Netflix, Blu-Rays.... But What I’m trying to figure out is, how much I’d sacrifice w/ the Oppo 105 from a pure audio standpoint. Coincidentally. the Oppo has a switch labeled PURE 2-Channel, which apparently improves the sound when the user is not doing video.

gdhal- I have a local buddy who had the ERC-3, and he  liked it very much. He simply went to a much more expensive SACD player from SIM Audio. I've always liked the Gamut amps, and I'm sure that would hold true with their CD Player. I'm just sticking with my price range on this one. I'm even stretching a bit, if I go with the 105D. I figure it's giving me a top-tier Blu-Ray plus excellent Resale value. phil9624- Thanks, and again I'm green when it comes to digital. I had an EAR Acute, and Audio Aero Capitole back in the day, but neither held a candle to analog. In this case, I have no expectation it will come close. I just want to enjoy some digital. Tonality above all else.

Just caught a listen to one of the Rega CD players at a dealers. It was pretty darned good. I preferred the Rega table with a $100 cartridge, but still, the CDP was enjoyable. I did make a purchase that day, to get this rolling. I bought a pair of Harbeth P3's. I'm leaning to the Obelisk to power them. For digital, that's the tough one. It seems from reading here and other places, the 105D  as a CDP can be beat for less money.  I'm also considering the optional DAC card in the Obelisk, and then getting an Oppo for a transport. I may have to scale back that plan, and do the Oppo 103, being that I will be using the DAC anyway. In the mean time, I have to exhale from the Harbeth purchase. Please keep the great stuff coming (-:

Spencer-  I think a streamer is what I want to explore. The word THINK in that last sentence, is because I want to research if a streamer has better sound than a CDP in the same price range. In my reading, I've stumbled across the brands you mentioned, along with Chord, Lumin, Bricasti, and Halide. Sure, I'd like to play my 100 or so CD's, but not at the expense of lesser sound quality. This is the door I wanted to open. Perhaps having just CD player in my initial post was a tad incomplete . I apologize for that, and thanks to all for your suggestions. Again, I'm  a bit out of touch with CD players, but with streaming, totally green.  

I had a friend over to listen who is solely a digital guy. He uses a Marantz SA11/3, which of course is up near $4000. I hope I have the model correct, but I believe the latest iteration SA11….His friend uses a Dac from a well respected manufacturer, which is in the $2000 range.  I don't want to mention the name, because I didn't officially get the green light to share this on a forum. Anyway, this guy with the Dac has an SA 8005. He says the Dac is better than the SA8005 alone, but not much better. I have no idea what this guys system is like, but with north of $3k in digital, I figure it must be pretty good.
