The Denon DCD-50 CD player is an almost perfect match for the (silver) Ultra. It does require an output convertor though to use the Ultra DAC as the Denon only has a coaxial digital output.

Unfortunately the DCD-50 is a discontinued model now but can still be picked up secondhand.

Nice! I was trying to decide which vintage or second-hand CD player that I want to put under my turntable, although I like the look of the Denon under the WiiM Ultra and will look for one of these as well.

beautiful unit and set up! So perfectly aligned with the Ultra, as if they were both made for each other! I had no idea of this Denon Cd players existence, too bad it was discontinued. Besides Ebay (which has very expensive delivery costs) where else can I find one of these in the US ?
 
The Teac is a similar size as well and can be a nice choice if you have a lot of silver componentsResized_image-3_1738536538821.png
 
All of you have beautiful setups with small CD players. I ended up going the budget route by using a Panasonic 5-disc DVD changer that my dad gave me for free because he hasn't used it in years. It works fine as a CD player, especially through the optical port, and it is a full-size deck that is sitting under my turntable.
 
Hola, tengo el mismo combo wiim-denon, que necesitaría un convertidor de coaxial a óptico, podría mandar enlace, muchas gracias.

Todos ustedes tienen hermosas configuraciones con pequeños reproductores de CD. Terminé optando por la opción económica y usé un cambiador de DVD de 5 discos Panasonic que mi padre me regaló porque no lo había usado en años. Funciona bien como reproductor de CD, especialmente a través del puerto óptico, y es un reproductor de tamaño completo que está debajo de mis tocadiscos.

El reproductor de CD Denon DCD-50 es una combinación casi perfecta para el Ultra (plateado). Sin embargo, se necesita un conversor de salida para utilizar el DAC Ultra, ya que el Denon solo tiene una salida digital coaxial.

Lamentablemente, el DCD-50 ya no se fabrica, pero aún se puede conseguir usado.

No, it’s a coaxial to optical converter - it’ll take a coax feed from the CD player coaxial output and convert it to optical to connect to the ultra’s optical input.

No, es un convertidor coaxial a óptico: tomará una alimentación coaxial de la salida coaxial del reproductor de CD y la convertirá a óptica para conectarla a la entrada óptica del ultra.

Pero me podrías decir exactamente el modelo de convertidor que usas tengo miedo de comprar uno que no valga la pena gracias

I don’t use any, just guessing that what I posted would be suitable from the requirements posted.
