Nova Memory + DAC or top class CD player?

Hi all,

I am searching for a new CD player. Searching and listening to several products I've made a small selection of CD players where I will choose from.

I do however see more and more about music servers, also on this forum. I really would love the flexibility to be able to play the songs I like, making playlists and listening to my favorite music without needing to switch CD's. I often buy CD's but usually there are only a couple of songs I like a lot and the others are ok so a playlist would be ideal.

I however am not prepared to make any sacrifices with respect to sound quality.
I do am very interested in the Nova Memory player but as some have already mentioned, their website is very unclear. And I'm not sure about the reliability, sound quality etc etc. For me I would like to use it as transport together with eg. the new Emm Labs DAC2.

In your opinion, would a combo like that be able to match with the top CD players like the DCS Puccini or Spectral 4000 for instance?

Your feedback is appreciated.
