Is there such a thing as a portable cd player with a decent dac in it?

Not looking for hi-end here but something better than the crappy one dollar one bit dac found in most of them. I know there were a few multibit dac ones made in the mid 80's but they are very rare nowadays. Does anyone make one with the 24/96 found in so many dvd players these days? Does anyone know if there are any with burr brown chips?
 
No portables I know of with Burr-Brown DAC chips or 24/96 capable. The Marantz professional portable CD players are the best of the recent ones but expensive! $400-$500.
 
I know that Sony made some amazing portable players, like the Discman D-555. It had a built in graphic equalizer LCD, and all sorts of buttons. Also has optical out! It goes for a lot on the Bay ($200+). Sony also made a D-25 that is supposedly very good, but aside from that, I don't know. :no:
