Ayon CD5s is the best I have heard way under 25K. Second choice would be the Meridian 808.3

Recenly put together a small system in my sitting room with an NAD C565BEE using a Yaoin Tube buffer wt a JAN Phillips LN 6922 tube that blows away any of the $15K front ends I've had. It's just more musically correct and involving.

Iv'e seen a few people using tube buffers with CD sources with good results . Is there any loss of detail this way ?
Iv'e been using an Ayre CD5MP as a transport , into a Levivson #360S DAC , I think it gives me a similar effect . The right about of musicality , more swing , a natural flow .

I don't want a $25000 piece of equipment mucking with my signal.

Less is better, right?
