Tube CD Players other than Jolida

I'm looking for a tube CD player that will compete with a Jolida cd100. It seems like the Jolida is the only one with tubes instead of opamps on the output circuit.

Are there any other players on the market that can compete? Is it possible to roll tubes in these other players like the Jolida?

Trying to stay under $1k for price, preowned is fine as well. Any manufacturers have an in home trial period?

Thanks

I suggest a look at any used Exemplar 2900's that pop up.

I've owned many players, but that unit is magic for a very reasonable price!

I've owned an Eastern Electric Minimax for about 18 months. Tube rolling in this machine is a breeze, if that's what you're looking for. Put some NOS 60's vintage Mullards in mine and have been very, very pleased with the sound.

shanling cd 300/3000 or cd t-100se or 200

shanling is very detailed especially when you add DAKIOM feedback stabilizers on the analog/tube output stage.
