Any... Behringer, Mutec, miniDSP...
It depends on your budget and last but not least, on your CD collection and how important is for your personal listening habits.
Some of these I/O devices are expensive and very close to the dac itself.
I'm using a second hand Cypress DCT39, I've been lucky to find it for few bucks some years ago.
To be fair it should be clear that this product (D30Pro) has been designed for a "digital only" context.
If you want to mainly refresh the sound of your old CD player (and results are remarkable) you should look for a dac with a better chip than the Altera used here (or at least a better implementation of it).
