Sorry, but I tend to agree with Buconero117, that you are chasing a ghost. Especially if you are limiting yourself to current production models. I would recommend looking for a player capable of SACD first and foremost. I have heard some very good reference redbook recordings, but in general, SACD sounds much closer to vinyl IMHO.
Maybe try a Marantz SA-15S2. If you're not interested in SACD, try a tube CDP from BAT, Lector, PrimaLuna, Tube Technology, etc.
The Audio Aero Prima CDP sounds somewhat like vinyl w/o tubes, but I've heard too many mechanical issues about AA gear to recommend it. Happy hunting.
Cheers,
John
