What CD drive to use with DAC?


I just purchased a Cambridge DacMagic. So to play CDs, is all I need is something to spin the disk, read the ones and zeros and send them to the DAC? Or is there more to it than that? My old CD player does not have digital out. So do I just get the cheapest CD player I can find with digital out? If so, any recommendations? As I am somewhat ditially impaired, so please be gentle with your responses.

Larryken - thanks, I just purchased a Squeezebox Touch and am in the process of re-ripping all my CDs to AIFF. However, my computer is in my upstairs office and I think I'd still be able to pop in a CD right at stereo. Just not sure what i really need. Don't want to spend a fortune, as I don't think it will be used much.
