However, does anyone have any information that pertains to my original
query, about the Radio 3 broadcast chain, and specifically what CD
players/DACS do they use and is there any compression?

It's digital throughout if playing digital recordings. But as regards the
chain itself, I don't know what you want to know, as the spec will be
different at different parts.
Their CD players will be pro units chosen for ease of operation and
robustness.
