panasonic sa xr45 $300 digital amp. try the xr 25 at circuit city, but I'd order the 45 for the same price online. Use a digital cable from player to receiver. This lets the receiver do the amplification. search audiocirlce.com or audio asylum about this little receiver. It's a killer sound for a bargain price. matched with some axioms and you'll be listening to your cd collection all over again like it's new.
