My future system will be as followed(hopefully anyway)

5.5 gen Imod-Portable V-Cap-Zana Deux Transformer- HD800

Will my Imod work as a good enough source or am I going to have to get a dedicated CD player?

It should be plenty!
The iMod are highly regarded among the portable players, and you may need to look into an external portable DAC solution to surpass it.
