I really hate to come to Arnie's defense but the use of tubes in any
silver-disc player is limited to the analog/output stages. As a
result, you may have more success finding a suitable tube-based DAC
with multiple inputs and controls to mate with a transport than you
will in finding a tube-containing player that does everything you
need.

You might be right but if you can do a tube mod your self there are
plenty candidate CD players ...... Denon DCD860 comes to mind ......

Why bother with a CD player? Add a tube DAC if you need this feature.

Why bother with a tube DAC? The OP has a CAT Ultimate preamp. Plenty of
tubes there.
