Looks like it can take an SD card and you do not need to connect it to a computer or network
It has a digital output 
 
Anything else on the market that has these features in a non portable device?

If I recall there was a $400 Cd player from china (maybe 10 years ago) (shannling or something similar) that competed with any CD player at the time less than 2K.   It needed a voltage converter.   Not sure if China adheres to the patent restrictions and may have copied a high end player ?

Hi,
Thanks very much for your interest. The official introduction for your guys' reference.
Stationary DSD Player A280 using FPGA architecture, multi I/O interfaces for matching with various audio devices

I contacted the manufacturer and asked him(her) to post.  I did not realize he (she) already posted about it a year and a half ago
 
I think this will blow away the Sony Hapz1es and any other stand alone player.  I have looked at all the offerings from pioneer, sony, cambrage and Marantz and they do not have half the features this thing has.
 
Not sure why this never caught on

this is close but it's 5K

I am planning on buying the soundware A280.  I'll post my review. The Cary is too rich for my blood
 
I changed the title as not many people have noticed this thread.  I've gone through the archive's and many members were looking for something exactly like this
