CD player reccomendations please

Well, i am about to take the plunge, but i need a little help deciding between a few different models:

Classe CDP 1
Jolida JD100A
Roksan Caspian
Quad 99
Lector 0.6T

I am really looking for the most smooth analog presentation that can be had. I really would prefer that the unit has both solid tight bass and most importantly the least amount of shrillness in the upper freq's.

Thanks guys,

I would add Naim CD5i to my short list of CDP's to listen to. It just might be the winner between the one's you've listed. :-)

The Oppo DV-970HD (149.US) is insanely good , having been favorably compaired to players costing gads more.

Go to www.Oppo.com read the reviews and the buy yourself one. Use the 970 as a tool to compair other units. Most likely you will keep this gem that has more options , SOTA chips and "magic" in the music.

If you are willing to spend a grand and half you owe it to yourself. Oppo has a liberal return policy. Nothing to loose but a few bucks on s/h but I feel you will be shocked at the value for $.

Try the Consonance CD-120 Linear.

No longer distributed here in the US, but you can find the Cairn Fog v.2 here used on A'gon.

This was a long time reference CDP of mine. I sold it, I regretted it and now again I am a proud owner - as soon as I put it back in the system in found what I had been missing. This player is incredibly musical IMO!
