Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?

Recently bought Electrocompaniet EMC 1UP (+Kondo Vx interconnects) which I can listen to with the same pleasure as Raven One + Tri-Planar + Transfiguration Phoenix.

CDP does sound analog like, despite the statements in this thread :) (which I take with due respect).

Tascam CC222MkII Player/Recorder and Music Hall Maverick SACD player modified by Underwood Audio for my main system.

I've been quite happy with how good the Tascam records and how both it and the Music Hall sound. I have had some problems with the Music Hall and had to have it repaired twice. Overall cost for the Music Hall was around $1700 with mods.

A Wadia would be a luxury but I can't relate to the cost at this time.

For the digital front end I use a Music Hall CD 25.2 player as a transport and have a Cary Audio XCiter DAC. The two are connected via a DH Labs D-75 cable. I really like the sound of the Cary DAC; very smooth and no digital glare, but lots of detail and nice, full, rich sound.

Another vote for the Ayre CX7e-MP.
