Vintage CDP's were transitional. Meaning they were still being developed for mass market production. They were good but new CDP's ARE FAR better!!!!
The technology has come a long way since even the 90's. Now a cheap CDP today is much better than a $1000 CDP from the 90's. Kind of like how digital cameras are today. A cheap $99 camera today is WAYYYYY better than the most expensive older cameras. So don't go too crazy finding "the best".
You will find that the limiting factor will be your CD's themselves. The engineering recording quality.
As for streaming do look into a Marantz NA-7004. All the music from the planet Earth available at CD level listening levels. Once you go that route - you ain't coming back!
And BTW the NA7004 has a fabulous DAC if you need one.
