Of my 7 players, the Unison Research CDE with optional Dac, is the one I go to most. It is the most "non-digital" sounding player I've heard. You can listen for hours with no fatigue. Really musically involving. Probably more reel to reel sounding than Vinyl. Gorgeous.
My next go to is the Vincent CD-S8, more dynamic than the CDE but not as smooth, a very "listenable" player as well.
