Hi Adrian.
It's obvious from your equipment list that you take your analogue music replay very seriously so I'm curious as to why you want to go back in time for your digital solution. My opinion of course but I think digital replay has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. I've had some decent (and expensive) CD players over the years from the likes of Meridian and Primare but I didn't start to really enjoy digital until I moved to a computer based replay system and separate DAC. Dedicated computers from the likes of Innuos and Auralic with their fanless operation and no processing distractions like running display boards etc make for a hugely convenient solution with excellent sound quality. Playlists, no problem, finding music to play a piece of cake!
I've an Innuos Zen Mini with 1Tb of storage currently holding 450 cds taking up only 16% of the space so it's not a problem if you have a lot more. Couple one of these to a high quality DAC for superb sound quality with no worries about reliability or availability of spare parts. To my ears mine sounds more analogue than any CD player I've ever owned and I've also had fun trying different DACs over the years I don't do streaming from the likes of Tidal but people tell me the quality of these services is good too. What I do use is access to radio via the likes of BBC iPlayer - listen live or past broadcasts, great for comedies that are broadcast late at night
