Upgrade from Cal CL-15 ?


I have a mint condition Cal CL15 that has performed without any single problem. I have been very happy with this machine until recently. I sold my TT and had to wait almost 2 weeks before I could spin vinyl again. I found listening to Cd a pretty bad experience for almost 2 weeks. Now I have never spent a lot of money on a CD player before so I am a little uneducated on what is out there with respect to my Cal. I have a pretty good rig going on now and the Cal is definatly at the bottom of my system. So, being the obsesive, compulsive person I am, I am thinking about upgrading the Cal.
But I have no clue what I should be looking for. Here is my system. Proac Studio 250 speakers, Rogue Magnum M120 mono's, Rogue Magnum 99 pre, Vpi HW19 jr TT and a Graham Slee era gold MkV phono stage.
So what would the digital experts recommend to put into the chain here. I would like to keep it under 1K for a used system. I was also thinking I would later maybe like to add a DAC, so a digital output would be nice.
Thanks, Scott

Well the CL 15 doesn't have a digital output to use a seperate DAC. So that is out of the question. How is the Shanling T100 ? Is it a decent cd player? I see they can be had for as little as $1200 or so.
