Seeking CD Player with Digital Inputs

I have a friend who I'm helping to put together his first reasonable stereo.  He needs a source.  We were thinking that he could get a lot out of a CD player with digital inputs - one could be used for his TV (optical) and one for a streamer (coax).  Does such a thing exist?  Or would it be better to look for a DAC with three digital inputs (CD, streamer, TV).  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I have two such players:  a Luxman D-10X, and a Marantz SA10.  Both are excellent.  Neither is inexpensive.

A Cambridge Audio Azur 740C cd player should fit the bill.

At that budget I would be looking for used.

Another option would be to get an Optical computer peripheral.  These are usually used to rip CDs but can also play them.  Assuming he has a laptop he can attach the peripheral, then use one of those small usb DACs which then outputs into the amp
