Any good cdp with digital inputs

Please recommend me a good cd player with digital inputs either used OR new. I want to use it as a stand alone cd player and also use my Squezeebox 3 output feeding the internal dac of the cd player. This way I can have the best of both but the dac section of the cdp needs to be very very good.
Thank you

And the Aero Audio cdp's (at least the Capitole models). My 24/192 Capitole has 6 digital inputs.

I've heard that the volume control on the Quad player isn't all that good sonically. You may want to not throw away your preamp yet...

Can the Quad volume control be completely bypassed?

There are at least two other recent archived threads on this same topic. This seems to be a growing area of interest among audiophiles looking to incorporate other digital sources into their systems while controlling the proliferation of boxes. Manufacturers concerned about obsolesence of the traditional CDP ought to respond accordingly and offer more players that perform double duty as superior external DACs with multiple selectable inputs.
