Spin it how you want....
The fact that UHD bluray is on the horizon shows your **original statement** to be incorrect.
**there's not new format on the horizon thats just about to come out that a new bluray player won't be able to play**

So why recommend equipment that's more suited to home cinema not HiFi?

And that poses a problem for who, certainly not the OP who wish to play and listen to their CD's and vinyl in the future.
Re: putting some detail to another vague equipment reference of "HDMI amp"
Nope, that won't wash.
We've all stated the gear we'd recommend. Now it's time for you to step up and put some meat on the bones of your kit recommendation. So come on; make and model and price of this "HDMI amp" if you please.
Remember too, you said it's not an AV Receiver or AV amp.

part of your problem is you make presumptions with insufficient information. i try and avoid doing that, so i won't spend time suggesting equipment until the OP has clarified what they want, what the budget is, etc etc etc

of course that is your opinion. however you must surely be aware that other people have different opinions to yours, and some people like to have a device that can perform multiple tasks, and that's why devices like that are both on the market, and sell in large quantities
it's up to the OP to decide if they want a device that can do many things, or one that is more limited in what it can do, but perhaps do some things better than one that does many

likewise, as i keep pointing out, some don't. you don't seem to get the idea that not everyone is the same, and people are different, do you?
if you are having a dinner party that involves cd swapping so much and so often that a few seconds of loading time of a cd is an issue, then it sounds to me there are greater issues at the party than the loading time of a disc, however of course in that situation then perhaps a more suitable device such as a dj dual deck cd player would be more suitable so you can play discs without any waiting time. ultimately it's your choice what you want to buy, and it's the OP's choice what they want to buy. a few seconds loading time may be an issue to you, but not to the OP
surely by now you can see just how absolutely ridiculous your responses are getting?

again, that's your opinion based on what you like and what suits you. but consider the OP and what is suitable for them. a few seconds to load a disc may bother some, but won't bother others
sometimes a longer load time on a bluray player can be considered worth it for all the added benefits the player can offer

It's not irelevant to ask you to substantiate your vague recommendation of "HDMI amp". So come on, put up your proposed piece of kit. What's the issue? Or is it that you've realised you've backed yourself in to a corner with nowhere to go?
IMy recommendations come from extensive experience and they centre on real equipment so that the OP can make an I formed decision. Yours on the other hand....

You're either hiding the fact you knew nothing about UHD Bluray or you have no idea what you posted in regards to "on the horizon".....
The BDA confirmed UHD Bluray will be arriving in 2015 in September 2014 at the IFA in Berlin.
Panasonic had the first UHD Bluray player working at CES in January.
The standards have been agreed.
Players are expected to be on the shelves later this year.
Now if that isn't a new format on the horizon that Bluray won't be able to play, I don't know what is......

But you are ignoring their request for audiophile quality, that is my main contention, you don't get that by purchasing multi- format players or home cinema receivers, especially at the OP's price point. You are compromising the quality of CD playback for the slight chance they may want to listen to SACD/DVDA/Bluray audio, all of which are a niche market.
There's a Primare V20 CD player on eBay for £199, it would wipe the floor with any Bluray player at the same price point and higher.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...Text=&_sacat=0
If they had mentioned, CD, vinyl, DVD and Sky HD then I don't think there would be an issue. Trying to get high quality audio from a relatively low budget is hard enough, home cinema equipment is not the way to go. Up to you if you accept those points or not.

I know I did, and it was in direct response to you saying, more modern equipment can be upgraded to play other formats, whereas a CD player and turntable can only play what they were initially designed to play. If you were not trying to prove at point modern equipment is more versatile than a CD player/turntable, which the OP is interested in, who's benefit was it for?

The OP has clarified exactly what they want: It was originally a turntable, stereo amp & speakers within a bug et of £700 until you shot down that idea and engineered a change in direction; at which point it became CD and iTunes playback + stereo amp and speakers. The other stated aim is audiophile quality.
So come on; lets see makes models and prices of gear to back up your "factual" (ha ha ha)posts.

OP was asking about audiophile kit. To my mind that suggests that the prime requirement is to listen to decent quality music, not have a party DJ setup that plays any recorded music format known to man and isn't very good at it.
I said a few pages ago that the best option is to buy something that works, and then progress over time as your knowledge & funds allow. That's still the better option - buy a nice amp, CD player & speakers, enjoy that for now and add to it at a later date if that becomes the requirement. Trying to do a catch-all solution from the off isn't the best way. A good amp & spkrs + a good source will be a joy. Add streaming etc as & when that becomes the next want. For now, spend the money where it matters.

wrong. I didn't shoot down the idea. I suggested going down the second hand route if they wanted vinly, or an hdmi amp matched with bluray player if they wanted new
so two very different suggestions, one directed at the mention of vinly, one very different to which seems to be closer to what the OP now wants than the initial post
if you have a problem with that, it's something you need to address within yourself

the bit in bold is wrong. it's simply generalising. it could be the best way for some
however that is your opinion. I've stated mine which differs from yours. it's up to the OP to choose what they think suits them best. what suits you may not suit the OP

so to back up your point, which is pretty pointless and irrelevant on this thread, you have to take what I said originally, and summise that I suggested something else, but omitting key words. the most relevant part being that it's just about to come out. it's not expected to hit stores for at least six months
do you really think the OP is interested in buying a UHD player? if not then you are really wasting your time going on about it on this thread

perhaps the OP is interested in something more modern than a cd player or turntable? have you asked the OP? or are you more interested in arguing the toss about things the OP is unlikely to buy, such as a UHD player?

once the OP clarifies what they are looking for, if it's along the lines of what i'm suggesting then i may do that. i prefer to use facts to prove or disprove things as opposed to arguing about opinions as you've mostly done here as you don't have any facts to disprove anything i've said
if you wish to suggest makes and models you are free to do so, and if you do so at this stage before the OP replies it would be interesting to see if they end up buying any of them or not

They already have, they did it in their second post - they want to visit vinyl at a later date, they now want something to playback their CD's and music from iTunes, they have chosen the speakers, so that just leaves the amp. If you won't take it from me, here it is from the horses mouth.......BIB.

It's not.
They have a CD player, they want to get the best out of their CD's and digital music and vinyl in the future, still going to suggest HDMI surround sound amps are the best way to go?

We've said all along the OP is not looking for surround sound and Bluray, you have been the one arguing the toss it might be something the OP is looking for, clearly it is not, now you have the facts maybe you can put a little more thought into your suggestions more in line to what is being asked.
I'll kick it off with something like this....

Linn Wakonda pre-amp with MM/MC phono
