You and Rob are a pair of jammie b@sterd$ with the kit that you have access to! 
In case the Linn doesn't work out (which it will - with the right demo), another brilliant CDP I've come across that's worth bearing in mind, is the EAR Acute 111 (with Dac).
Hi Cno,
When you say: a CDP with DAC, do you mean it's a transport + DAC, or can it be used as a DAC for other sources (i.e. does it have digital inputs)? Can't find the info right away on tinternet...
That's what holds me back from the Linn-route, at the moment: if you want a DS with a digital in, you need a DSM, with integrated pre+power amp (which I won't need) 
. Unless I misunderstand?

I have not seen this CDP, but have huge respect for the brand, and when I came across it, threw it into the mix.... Roby's link should answer your question.
With regard to the Linn DS.....you are correct.

now you made me courious....

EAR makes one of the most musical sounding equipment around. The phonostage I have is ubnbelievable (with tubes also) so I wounldn't expect the CD player to be any worse than that!

So come and stay for a week, Francis wouldn't mind some company and he will let you ear whatever you want
Now, that is positive feedback, indeed! Added to list!

You know I'm more a cdp man an yes at this point I have 3 in mind but only tried out 1 who was beautifful (the electrocompagniet).
But as I'm openminded I think I went with Alex to the first Linn pressentation....I had two words aftherwards "NOT CONVINCED"
