I would not personally buy a CD player with an integrated preamp, because CD transports are the least reliable part of any audio chain, and when it fails you'll need a new preamp. A good amp will last 20 years with minimal servicing. A good CD player might make 10 years, if you're lucky.
I would consider a DAC with a preamp because DACs are very reliable.
However, in your case I think the integrated amp plus CD is much better, and also much more flexible if you ever decide you want to add a tuner, turntable, SACD, DVD player as a future source.
