CD comparisons

I am looking to upgrade my CD player and would like some input.  I have a PS Audio GCC 250 intigrated amp, a PS Audio Digital Link III
DAC and a PS Audio premier ac regenerator with B&W 704 loudspeakers.  I was hopeful to buy the new PS Audio transport and DAC but
it appears it will be way out of my pricerange.  Any suggestions that would compliment my Digital Link III DAC?  I have read good reviews about
the Cambridge Audio 840 C, any others in that pricerange I should consider?

 The Simaudio Moon CD-1 would be a good choice. There's also the Cambridge 740C, which sounds quite similar and costs less. I've also read positive user reviews of Sony's new 5400ES CD/SACD player.

 Or you could get a wireless server such as the Squeezebox Transporter, Squeezebox Duet, or any of the new generation of servers from Olive, Acoustic Energy, NuForce, or Koetsu Blacknote...
 
Everything else in your system is cutting-edge digital, why not go all the way?
